PERM Process

U.S. businesses that cannot find enough American workers to fill available jobs can hire foreign workers if they first obtain a permanent labor certification (PERM) for the open position.  Employers must go through the PERM process to get approval from the U.S. Department of Labor for hiring a foreign worker who is then allowed to live and work in the U.S. permanently.
