U.S. Department of Labor Publishes regulation to Implement PERM
On December 27, 2004, the Department of Labor adopted a new regulation that will streamline the process through which foreign nationals can be sponsored by U.S. employers to become permanent residents. This process is commonly referred to as "Labor Certification". The new regulation called "PERM" (Program Electronic Management) will go into effect on March 28, 2005. Under the old regulation, it took an average of 2/3 years for a Labor Certification application to be adjudicated by the Department of Labor. Under PERM it would take an average of 45-60 days for an application to be processed, except audited cases.
