What Is the First Step to Applying for a Green Card Based on Employment?

There are many requirements that both the employer and the potential employee must meet in order to qualify for the employment-based green card.

We will first evaluate the credentials of the employee, the financials of the employer and the job position in question. Once we have determined that both the employer and the employee meet certain requirements, we will request a Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) from the Department of Labor. Department of Labor processing times can be long, and this initial step does not afford the potential employee any immigration status. It is, therefore, important to plan ahead and start the process as soon as possible.

Following receipt of the PWD, and after the employer has properly advertised the position and complied with all posting requirements, the employer can file the PERM Labor Certification with the Department of Labor.

Certain employment-based categories and professions do not require labor certification, significantly reducing processing times. Physical Therapists, applicants who qualify for a National Interest Waiver and applicants who can demonstrate “Extraordinary Abilities” in their field are some of the applicants who are not required to undergo the PERM Labor Certification process with the Department of Labor.

If you are an employer in need of hiring more than one foreign national, you may be able to save time and resources in a second or subsequent filing. Also, speak to us about discounted legal fees for recurring applications.

There is also the option of filing for a nonimmigrant visa that would allow for temporary employment in the United States. Our attorneys can help you decide what is best in your case.
