The Law Offices of Tahir Mella
Philadelphia Labor Certifications Attorneys
Working immigrants can obtain permanent residency through the sponsorship of an employer when working on a full-time, permanent basis. The Law Offices of Tahir Mella assists individuals and companies in preparing necessary paperwork and documentation in applying for a labor certification and green card. Under the Department of Labor's new requirements for processing labor certifications, applicants must adhere to rules specified by the Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) initiative. As a result, salary and wages must be documented and more information provided upfront in order to ensure compliance with PERM rules. As your labor certification lawyers, we expedite and facilitate the process, ensuring your information is in order and ready for submission electronically to the Department of Labor.
For more information regarding labor certifications and how to prepare you application, contact labor certifications attorneys at the Law Offices of Tahir Mella. Our Philadelphia office represents clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including Reading, York, Media, Doylestown, Camden, Gloucester, and Cherry Hill.
PERM -- Establishing the Need to Hire You
Employers are required by PERM to request a Prevailing Wage Determination from their state's State Workforce Agency. A recruitment campaign must then be initiated to determine if a qualified, willing US citizen is eligible to perform the job in question. Once the job search is over and no qualified US citizens apply, employers then submit a description of their recruitment efforts, the results, as well as specific kinds of information about the job and the wage offered. After the DOL has certified that the employer exists and the information provided is not fraudulent, they will certify the application.
