PERM Labor Certification for Immigrant Workers
Representing Clients in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mid Cities
If you are a foreign worker in the United States, you may have questions about the possibility of staying in the U.S. permanently. Labor certification is an immigration option that allows a worker to stay and work in the United States permanently. To obtain a green card for permanent residency in the United States based upon employment, you and your employer will have to comply with very strict and complicated requirements, a process that we are experienced with.
The labor certification option is not for everyone. To find out about the eligibility requirements, and to determine whether alien labor certification can lead to permanent residency, talk to Arlington, Texas, immigration attorney Ollie R. Jefferson.

Seeking labor certification for permanent residency
If you are working in the U.S. on a temporary work visa, or if you are seeking an employment-based immigration visa in the 2nd or 3rd preference categories, labor certification may be your best option for seeking permanent residency.
Labor certification may be available to foreign workers if there are no qualified workers who are United States citizens. Employers will have to demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. citizen applicants applying for the job. Then, they complete the PERM application and proceed with the labor certification process.
PERM labor certification
The process of labor certification can be relatively straightforward thanks to the PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) system. Some categories of workers may have access to faster and easier procedures, such as outstanding professors and researchers, workers with extraordinary and exceptional abilities, guild workers, multinational managers, executives, investors, religious workers, and others. Our firm can help you with PERM application, and explore any other legal options to help you remain in the U.S.
