White House Completes Review of Proposal to Modernise PERM Labour Certification Process
The White House has completed its review of a proposal to modernise the PERM labour certification process, the initial step for sponsoring foreign workers for green cards. The Department of Labour's proposal, last updated in 2004, aims to revise recruitment standards, strengthen rules on US worker layoffs, and enhance employer non-discrimination requirements. This move follows a broader enforcement crackdown led by Vice President J.D. Vance's Anti-Fraud Taskforce, which recently suspended PERM programmes at several major tech companies. The proposal will be published for public comment before finalisation.
