The document summarizes the key aspects of the Re-engineered Permanent Labor Certification Program (PERM) implemented by the Department of Labor. It overviews the history and goals of streamlining the green card process. Under PERM, employers must conduct recruitment and offer the prevailing wage before applying. Applications are processed within 45-60 days and employers retain documentation for 5 years in case of an audit. Recruitment requirements depend on the occupation and can involve job postings, advertisements, and additional recruitment steps for professional jobs. PERM applications are reviewed for possible fraud and can be revoked if not compliant.
