Chicago PERM Labor Certification Lawyer
 

PERM labor certification is the first step for many employment-based green cards. Employers must show no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. This requires precise recruitment steps, job postings, and documentation. Even small errors can cause denials or delays. We guide employers through every detail to ensure compliance.

Employers must offer a wage that meets or exceeds the prevailing wage. We help obtain wage determinations and prepare accurate job descriptions. These steps ensure the position is described fairly and legally. Careful preparation is crucial to avoid red flags or audits. We work closely with employers to maintain accuracy and organization.
 

Once recruitment is complete, employers file the PERM application electronically. USCIS may audit the case if inconsistencies or issues are found. We ensure employers retain all evidence and are prepared for possible audits. Our team stays available throughout the process to answer questions. This structured approach helps avoid costly mistakes.
 

After PERM approval, the worker can continue with the immigrant visa petition and adjustment of status. This brings them closer to permanent residency. The PERM process requires patience and careful compliance. We help employers and employees coordinate the next steps. AIL is committed to helping build long-term, stable employment opportunities in the United States.
