When Business Growth Depends on Global Talent
The PERM Labor Certification process is the foundation of most employment-based green card cases (EB-2 and EB-3). It allows U.S. employers to sponsor foreign professionals when qualified U.S. workers are not available for the role.
At Dinits Immigration Law, we help employers and employees navigate the strict timelines, recruitment requirements, and documentation standards of the Department of Labor (DOL).
From drafting accurate job descriptions to submitting final certifications, we manage every step with care and precision—so your company can hire confidently and your employee can move toward permanent residency.

What Is PERM Labor Certification?
PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) is the first step in most employment-based green card cases under the EB-2 and EB-3 categories.
It verifies that:
- The job is full-time, permanent, and meets prevailing wage standards.
- There are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position after a good-faith recruitment process.
- Hiring the foreign national will not adversely affect U.S. workers’ wages or conditions.
Once DOL certifies the application, the employer may proceed to file Form I-140 with USCIS.
Call 516-208-2060 for eligibility guidance.

Every step—prevailing wage, recruitment, filing—is handled with full communication and documentation.
The Department of Labor’s average processing time for PERM applications is approximately 8–10 months, and Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWDs) average 4–6 months.
