Permanent Labor Certification/EB-3 Immigrant Visas

Simplifying the Hiring Process

PERM/EB-3 Program

The Permanent Labor Certification Program (PERM) administered by the Department of Labor, combined with the EB-3 employment-based immigrant visa program administered by USCIS, allows U.S. employers facing shortages of qualified domestic workers to sponsor foreign workers for permanent employment and green cards. This program is designed for full-time, permanent positions and ensures that hiring foreign talent does not adversely affect the wages or working conditions of U.S. workers.

Under EB-3, employers can sponsor skilled workers (requiring at least 2 years of training or experience), professionals (with a bachelor’s degree), or other workers (unskilled positions requiring less than 2 years of training). Thousands of EB-3 visas are issued annually, enabling employers across various industries to build long-term, stable workforces with dedicated international talent.

These workers are often highly motivated, skilled, and committed to contributing to U.S. businesses, helping companies grow and remain competitive in global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

For Employers
The PERM labor certification is a process where U.S. employers test the job market to confirm no qualified U.S. workers are available for a permanent position. Once certified by the Department of Labor (DOL), employers can petition USCIS for an EB-3 visa to sponsor the foreign worker for a green card.

To participate, employers must:

  • Offer a permanent, full-time job.
  • Demonstrate that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available for the position.
  • Prove that hiring the foreign worker will not adversely affect wages or working conditions of U.S. workers.
  • Conduct required recruitment efforts (e.g., job ads, state workforce agency postings) during the PERM process.
  • Pay at least the prevailing wage for the position, as determined by DOL.
PERM processing typically takes 6-18 months for DOL approval, followed by I-140 petition (several months) and adjustment of status or consular processing (variable, depending on visa availability and priority dates). Total timeline can be 2-4 years or more, depending upon what country you are sponsoring the worker from. China and India have significant backlogs for instance, that will not exist when recruiting from another country.
Access to a global talent pool for permanent roles, filling chronic shortages, enhancing productivity, and supporting long-term business growth without the limitations of temporary visas.
