PERM Final Regulation Highlights |
| 06-JAN-2005 |
PERM regulation was published in the Federal Register on Monday, December 27,
2004. The rule becomes effective on March 28, 2005, 90 days after publication.
This means that all labor certifications filed on or after March 28, 2005 will
be processed under PERM. All labor certifications filed prior to that date will
be processed under current regulations for as long as it takes to complete such
processing. The current labor certification regulations will be entirely replaced
by the new PERM regulation.
- The State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) will no longer receive the permanent
labor certification applications, Before a labor certification can be filed
with the federal processing center, the employer must obtain a prevailing
wage determination (PWD) from the SWA.
- Under the PERM labor certification process, employer must submit an ETA
Form 9089. This form can be filed electronically or by mail.
- Exisiting non PERM applications can be re-filed under PERM without loss
of the priority date under certain conditions.
