Green Card plans facing new hurdle? US moves to overhaul rules for sponsoring foreign workers
A new proposal aims to modernize the PERM process for foreign worker Green Card sponsorship, updating standards and enhancing protections for US workers.
The US Department of Labor has advanced a proposal that could overhaul the process employers use to sponsor foreign workers for employment-based Green Cards, putting the permanent labor certification, or PERM, program under review as the Trump administration pushes changes to employment-based immigration.
The proposal was received by the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) on September 14 and is currently undergoing regulatory review. It is titled “Modernizing the Labor Market Test and Improving Protections for U.S. Workers in the PERM Immigrant Visa Program.”
