PERM is the process for obtaining a permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL), which allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. In most employment-based cases, before the U.S. employer can submit an I-140 immigration petition to the USCIS, the labor certification must be certified by the DOL.
 
The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are no qualified U.S. workers able, willing and available to accept the job at the prevailing wage for that occupation in the area of intended employment.

1. The employer must provide a full time, permanent job opportunity.
2. There must be a bona fide job opening available to U.S. workers.
3. Job requirements must adhere to what is customarily required for the occupation in the U.S. and may not be tailored to the foreign worker's qualifications.
4. The employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of intended employment.
