How is the Labor Certification filed under PERM?
Employer’s have two choices of filing under PERM. The first and most efficient way is electronically. The employer sets up an account with the PERM online system that will allow the company to file and track cases. The system also allows employers to create a sub account for attorneys so that an attorney may file an application on the employer’s behalf. By filing online, employer, beneficiary and attorney signatures are not required prior to filing. The second choice is filing by mail. The disadvantage to filing by mail is that there is no way to track the application once it is filed. Also, the employer relies on the Department of Labor to correctly enter the information from the application into the online system. The employer, beneficiary and attorney must sign the application prior to filing.
