In brief, making an application for an permit includes these actions:


- Your prospective employer requests what's called a prevailing wage decision (PWD) from the U.S. Department of Labor, using the online FLAG system. The PWD is the Department of Labor's official judgment as to how much money is normally paid to individuals in jobs like the one you've been offered. The PWD will generally expire within a year or less, so it will be necessary to recruit for and employment submit the PERM labor certification right after the PWD is released.

- Within 180 days of the PERM labor accreditation approval, your employer prepares and submits a petition utilizing Form I-140, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
- After USCIS authorizes the petition, employment you wait until a visa is readily available. It may be instantly readily available, if the number of people who applied in your category because very same year is less than the variety of visas readily available; or if too lots of people used, then you might need to wait till your Priority Date becomes existing. (Get info on monitoring your Priority Date.).

Which procedure you use depends upon where you are living now, and employment if you are in the U.S., whether you are legally present or otherwise qualified to adjust status. (For detailed information on these treatments, see Getting a Green Card: Consular Processing vs. Adjustment of Status.).
- If your interview is at a consulate, after approval you enter the U.S. with your immigrant visa, at which time you end up being a permanent local. Your permit will show up by mail several weeks later.


Note that in cases when there is no backlog in your green card classification (and everybody's concern date is current according to the Department of State's latest Visa Bulletin), you can submit your I-485 application along with your employer's I-140 petition. If you're following the consular processing alternative, you'll require to wait for I-140 approval from USCIS before preparing your files for the visa interview abroad.


Exceptional Case: Obtaining a U.S. Lawful Permanent Residence Without Labor Certification


If you certify for an immigrant visa classification that does not require labor accreditation, then you will not need to follow all of the actions laid out above.


You or your company will merely submit the USCIS Form I-140 immigrant petition directly with the USCIS Service Center and, once it's approved, either file a Form I-485 permit application with USCIS (if you are lawfully present within the United States and qualified to adjust status) or await guidelines from the National Visa Center (NVC) to prepare you for a visa interview at a U.S. embassy abroad.
