Understanding the PERM Process:
An Overview

The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) process is a critical pathway for employers in West Palm Beach seeking to hire foreign workers on a permanent basis. This process, overseen by the U.S. Department of Labor, involves several key steps:

• Pre-Filing: Before filing the labor certification application, employers must conduct recruitment to test the labor market. This includes placing job advertisements and evaluating the availability of U.S. workers.
• Filing ETA Form 9089: The application for labor certification, ETA Form 9089, requires detailed information about the job offer, recruitment efforts, and the foreign worker's qualifications.
• Post-Filing Review: Once filed, the application undergoes a rigorous review process by the Department of Labor. This includes ensuring compliance with wage and working condition standards and verifying the legitimacy of the recruitment process.

Understanding each step of the PERM process is vital for employers seeking to navigate this complex pathway successfully.
