PERM Labor Certification, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, is normally the first step for a foreign individual to obtain permanent resident status - a green card - through an employment-based immigrant visa petition.
A U.S. employer applies on behalf of the foreign worker and must show that this job offer will not displace an available U.S. worker and will not adversely affect the wages or working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
Labor certification applications are a pre-requisite for most employment-based petitions, with the exception of the EB-1 category and EB-2 National Interest Waiver petitions.

Under the Trump administration, immigrants in the United States faced an unprecedented wave of bigotry and horror contrary to the core values of the United States.
His administration separated immigrant children from their families, detained asylum seekers indefinitely, created harsh new guidelines for asylum that contradict long held legal precedent, questioned the right of immigrants to have due process under our laws, and banned immigrants from several Muslim countries from entering the U.S. In addition, his policies significantly decreased the number of visas issued to legal immigrants.
