Employment-Based Immigrant/Permanent Visas

Broadly speaking, employment-based immigration generally requires either showing that no qualified US workers are available to fill the job position, or that a foreign worker is at the top of his/her profession. To establish that there are no qualified US workers available, the employer has to obtain a Labor Certification (PERM) approval from the Department of Labor. This is an extremely complex and challenging process with no room for error.

The Labor Certification is not required if the foreign worker is at the top of his/her field, and/or if the foreign nationals work is in the national interest. Additionally, Labor Certification is not required in health-care related professions where there is a consistent shortage of workers.
