Permanent Employment Certification (PERM) Process

Our company filed an H-1B petition for the foreign national. Why do I need to complete the Job Summary and BioQ Sheets for the position?

Will I be able to continue traveling outside of the U.S. during the PERM process?

How long does the PERM process take? When will the PERM application be filed?

What happens if a qualified U.S. worker applies for the position during the labor market test? Does the company have to hire the qualified U.S. worker?

When do I have to pay the employee the prevailing wage?

Do I have to place and keep track of all of the advertising myself?

How long does the Labor Market Test take?

What does it mean if my application gets audited?

What do the DOL processing times mean?

Should I be worried if my application is past processing time?

Is there anything I can do to expedite the process?

Can we start recruitment for the labor market test before we get the prevailing wage determination from the DOL?
