Employer-Sponsored Green Card Pathways

PERM Labor Certification (EB-2/EB-3)

Most employer-sponsored green card cases require PERM labor certification, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.

Immigrant Petition (Form I-140)

The employer must file an immigrant petition establishing the employee’s qualifications and the company’s ability to pay the offered wage.

Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing

Once a visa number is available, the applicant may adjust their status in the United States or complete the process through a U.S. consulate.

Employer Sponsorship Requirement

The process requires an ongoing job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor the applicant.

Prevailing Wage Compliance

The offered position must meet Department of Labor wage requirements.

Employee Qualifications

The applicant must meet the education, experience, and skill requirements for the position.

Concrete Examples of Employer-Sponsored Cases

Professional Sponsored Through
PERM (EB-2)

A U.S. employer sponsoring a foreign professional under the EB-2 category must complete the PERM labor certification process, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role. Approval depends not only on recruitment compliance, but on how the position is defined and aligned with the candidate’s qualifications. Any inconsistency between job requirements, recruitment efforts, and the employee’s profile can lead to delays or denial.

Skilled Worker Sponsored Under
EB-3

An employer sponsoring a skilled worker under EB-3 must show that the position meets Department of Labor standards and that the candidate satisfies the required qualifications. The process requires strict compliance with wage requirements and recruitment procedures, while maintaining consistency across all filings. Without careful structuring, even minor discrepancies can create significant issues in obtaining approval.
