In brief, getting an employment based green card involves these actions:

- Your prospective employer requests what's called a prevailing wage determination (PWD) from the U.S. Department of Labor, using the online FLAG system. The PWD is the Department of Labor's official judgment as to how much money is generally paid to people in jobs like the one you have actually been offered. The PWD will normally end within a year or less, so it will be essential to hire for and job submit the PERM labor accreditation right after the PWD is released.

  • Your employer promotes and hires for the job you have actually been offered and ultimately figures out (in excellent faith) that there are no competent U.S. employees available and happy to take the job.
  • Your employer submits a PERM labor accreditation application online, utilizing the Form 9089.
  • You wait the a number of months that the DOL will take to adjudicate the PERM labor accreditation application, and mail the certified PERM application to your company (this time frame can extend up to a year if the DOL selects your PERM application for audit).
  • Within 180 days of the PERM labor accreditation approval, your company prepares and submits a petition utilizing Form I-140, released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  • After USCIS approves the petition, you wait until a visa is readily available. It may be right away available, if the variety of people who used in your category in that exact same year is less than the number of visas readily available
