PERM (Permanent Labor Certification)
The PERM labor certification, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), allows an employer to hire a foreign worker for permanent employment in the United States. Before submitting an immigration petition to USCIS, the employer must first obtain an approved labor certification request from the DOL's Employment and Training Administration (ETA).
The DOL must confirm that there are no qualified U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to take the job at the prevailing wage for that occupation in the designated area of employment. Additionally, the DOL must verify that hiring the foreign worker will not negatively impact the wages or working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
