This volume includes nine comprehensive chapters providing a complete analysis of the U.S. Department of Labor's Final PERM Rule issued on Dec. 27, 2004, and taking effect March 28, 2005, implementing the new system of labor certification for the permanent employment of aliens in the United States.
All aspects of the PERM rule are discussed, including the choice between EB-1/2 green cards and PERM (permanent residence strategies), job requirements involving on-the-job experience and foreign language, small-employer considerations, deciding whether to re-file old labor certification cases under PERM, strategies for avoiding audits, retention of documents, and case management.
Appendices include the complete text of the Final PERM Rule, DOL Contact Information, Chart of Comparative Aspects of PERM vs. Prior Rule, and the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC).
