What is the PERM process?

The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process is the process for obtaining a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor for certain types of employment-based immigration cases in Virginia. This process is used for applications for permanent residence in the U.S. under the third (employment-based) preference category. The labor certification process is designed to ensure that employers in Virginia are making every effort to recruit and hire qualified U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents before employing a foreign worker. The process requires employers to advertise the job and make a good faith effort to hire from the local labor market when a qualified U.S. worker is available. The PERM process begins when the employer submits the application to the Department of Labor. The application includes employer information, the job offer, and a recruitment report. The Department of Labor will then review the application and assess whether the employer made the necessary good faith efforts to hire a qualified U.S. worker. If the Department of Labor approves the application, the employer can then submit the labor certification to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The PERM process is an important component of employment-based immigration to Virginia, ensuring the availability of qualified U.S. workers and protecting American labor markets. The process is designed to ensure employers are making a good faith effort to hire U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents prior to employing foreign workers.

El proceso PERM es el proceso de aplicación aprobado por el Departamento de Trabajo de los Estados Unidos que se utiliza para solucionar los problemas de empleo para las personas inmigrantes. El proceso se utiliza para solicitar un certificado de autorización de empleo permanente (PERM) para los trabajadores inmigrantes. El trabajador inmigrante puede utilizar el certificado para obtener una visa de trabajo o una tarjeta de residencia. En el proceso PERM, el empleador presenta una solicitud al Departamento de Trabajo para obtener un certificado de autorización de empleo permanente. La solicitud debe incluir la descripción de la posición y los requisitos de experiencia. El empleador debe también demostrar que no hay trabajadores estadounidenses calificados disponibles para la posición. El Departamento de Trabajo revisa el formulario y luego lo aprueba o rechaza. Si la solicitud es aprobada, el trabajador inmigrante puede solicitar un certificado de autorización de empleo permanente. El proceso PERM es una parte importante del derecho de inmigración. Si un empleador no puede obtener un certificado de autorización de empleo permanente para un trabajador inmigrante, no podrá obtener una visa de trabajo o una tarjeta de residencia. Por esta razón, el proceso PERM es una parte crucial para el proceso de inmigración.
