There are a few different paths to receiving a green card in the U.S. One way in which this can be achieved is through sponsorship by an employer via the 3-step PERM process:
- Obtain a Certified Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) from the Department of Labor;
- File a Preference Petition with U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS); and
- File either an Adjustment of Status (AOS) application with USCIS OR pursue Immigrant Visa Processing (IVP) if outside the U.S.
Check out our PERM/Green Card Center for more information, and watch the video below with Partner Jennifer Behm talking about PERM processing times. You may also find the DOL’s PERM Processing Times page useful (external site). If you have any questions, contact Berardi Immigration Law today. We would love to hear from you.
