PERM

PERM Lawyer in Bethesda, Maryland

Obtaining the proper employment visas and documentation is essential for individuals seeking to come to the U.S. for work. At the Law Offices of Howard T. Mei in Bethesda, Maryland, we have been assisting employers and employees with employment immigration procedures and related processes for over 10 years. We are highly skilled at handling PERM and labor certification matters, having achieved great success under the new standards that were recently implemented.

• The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) regulation took effect on March 28, 2005 and replaces the previous labor certification application program. Currently, filing a labor certification is only possible through PERM instead of the previous tradition or reduction in recruitment processes.
• Since the PERM process frequently takes from 90 to 180 days, it is much faster than the original application process. However, the process is now an attestation process—no supporting documentation has to be filed with the initial application. Instead, applicants face possible audits to ensure compliance and/or to resolve issues.
• The PERM recruiting process has become more complex. More steps and a higher level of specificity are just some of the radical changes that have been made to the recruiting process, which must be completed before labor certification can be filed.

With the increase in the intricacy of the PERM and labor certification processes, it is more important than ever that you navigate these types of cases with the help of a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. At the Law Offices of Howard T. Mei, we can efficiently and effectively guide you through the PERM process.
