What is a PERM case?

PERM is the labor certification an employer files with the U.S. Department of Labor before sponsoring a worker for an employment-based green card. It documents that the employer tested the U.S. labor market and found no qualified U.S. worker for the job.

What does the case status mean?

Certified means the Department of Labor approved the labor certification. Denied means it rejected it. Withdrawn means the employer pulled the application. The status on this page is the one recorded in the DOL disclosure file.

How is PERM different from an H-1B LCA?

An LCA is the wage certification for a temporary H-1B visa. PERM is the labor certification for a permanent green card. Both go through the Department of Labor, but PERM requires a full recruitment test of the U.S. labor market, which an LCA does not.
