The Procress

 Our company will work with your potential employer on the following items:

Step 1

The first step in the process of getting a green card through employer sponsorship is for your employer to get an approved labor certification from the United States Department of Labor (DOL). This process is also referred to as PERM.

Step 2

The immigration laws seek to protect the interests, wages, and working conditions of the US workforce. Therefore, before you immigrate to the US, the DOL must certify that there is a shortage of qualified workers.

Step 3

This process requires your employer to test the US labor market to see if there are any qualified US workers to fill the position that they are offering to you.

Step 4

Your employer must make good-faith efforts to hire a qualified US worker by advertising the job opportunity that is available and by considering the qualifications of all US applicants.

Step 5

Your employer must also get a prevailing wage determination from the National Prevailing Wage Center by filing a Form ETA 9141.

Step 6

Your employer must file an Application for Permanent Labor Certification with the Department of Labor (ETA Form 9089).
