PERM Labor Certification Attorney in Chicago

PERM labor certification is the first step in the employer-sponsored green card process for most EB-2 and EB-3 cases. The process requires employers to demonstrate that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. At Liberum Law, our PERM attorneys in Chicago guide employers through every stage of the labor certification process.

The PERM process involves obtaining a prevailing wage determination from the Department of Labor, conducting a recruitment campaign following specific DOL requirements, filing the PERM application (ETA Form 9089) with the DOL, and maintaining a recruitment report and supporting documentation for potential audit. Our attorneys ensure compliance at every step, minimizing the risk of denial or audit complications.

Common PERM challenges include business necessity justification for job requirements exceeding the normal minimum, recruitment result documentation and audit responses, prevailing wage disputes, and timing coordination with H-1B status maintenance. Our PERM lawyers have extensive experience navigating these complexities.
