Requirements for the employer:

The financial ability of the company to pay wages for this vacancy that is established by the Department of Labor

A vacant position for which there was no candidate from the American labor market

The 4 main steps that your employer must go through:

Recruiting (2-3 months) – the employer has to test the American labor market to see if there are American employees who are willing to fill this position. For example, the employer needs to register on the site of a state government agency that helps in finding employees among Americans. Once it's over and there is no resume or candidates do not qualify for the requirements, we proceed to the next stage.

Prevailing wage (6-7 months) – this is how much money the employer will have to pay for this position to you if the American employee worked for this company. The amount of the wage is determined by the Department of Labor. This step is free of charge.

Text on WhatsApp

The job listings must be in circulation for up to a month. Then 30 days of waiting for resumes and interviews (if there are any).

Filing the I-140 Form. With all the documents from the Department of Labor, from the employer, and from you, the petition is filed. The company needs to prove two main things - the business need and the ability to pay you the salary set by the Department of Labor. State duty is - $2500 +

PERM - the certificate from the Department of Labor that indicates that there is no American worker for this position. It can be obtained by submitting documents to the Department of Labor after the recruitment stage. This process takes 7 months. If the Department of Labor did not like something, they can run an audit. The audit can drag out the process for up to one and a half years.
