What is PERM?
PERM is the abreviation for the Program Electronic Review Management. It’s a system for processing labor certification application, which is necessary (with some exceptions, e.g., National Interest Waiver, Schedule A precertification) to get a green card through employment. The basic criteria are whether the employer has me the procedural requirements of the regulations, whether there are insufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available, and whether the employment of the foreing worker will have an adverse effect on the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers similarly employed.
