PERM Labor Certification Services

Helping U.S. Employers Sponsor Skilled Workers for Permanent Residence

At Thiele Law PLLC, we help U.S. employers sponsor foreign employees for green cards through the PERM Labor Certification process — the first step in most employment-based permanent residency cases.

With over 25 years of immigration experience, our firm provides comprehensive, start-to-finish PERM support for employers and professionals nationwide. We ensure every detail — from job description and wage determination to advertising and filing — is handled with precision and compliance, so your case moves forward smoothly and successfully.

 

What Is PERM Labor Certification?

The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process is the first stage in obtaining a U.S. green card through employment. It requires a U.S. employer to test the labor market and prove that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the offered position — confirming that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact U.S. wages or job opportunities.

Once certified by the Department of Labor (DOL), the employer can file the I-140 Immigrant Petition with USCIS, leading to permanent residency for the sponsored employee.

The PERM process includes:

  • Prevailing wage determination

  • Recruitment and advertising period

  • Filing of the ETA Form 9089 with the Department of Labor
