Permanent Residency Strategy

PERM Labor Certification & EB-3 Green Cards

The PERM labor certification process is the critical first step for U.S. employers looking to sponsor foreign nationals for permanent residency. Our firm specializes in navigating the complex regulatory requirements of the Department of Labor (DOL) to secure the talent your long-term operations depend on.

PERM Labor Certification

We manage the mandatory recruitment phase, prevailing wage determinations, and DOL filing to prove that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position, ensuring a compliant foundation for your immigrant visa petition.

EB-3 Immigrant Visas

Our attorney-backed strategy covers the Form I-140 petition for skilled workers and professionals. We streamline the path from PERM approval to final green card issuance, helping you retain essential talent long-term.

EB-3 Eligibility Requirements

Employer Sponsorship Criteria

To sponsor an EB-3 Green Card, U.S. employers must demonstrate a genuine need for the worker and the financial capacity to pay the prevailing wage. The position must be permanent and full-time.
