White House Reviews Proposal to Modernise PERM Labour Certification Process
The White House has completed its review of a proposal to modernise the permanent labour certification process (PERM), the initial step for sponsoring foreign workers for green cards. The Department of Labour's proposal, last updated in 2004, aims to revise labour market tests, strengthen rules on US worker layoffs, and enhance employer non-discrimination requirements. Following review, the proposal will be published for public comment before finalisation. This move coincides with an enforcement crackdown led by the Anti-Fraud Taskforce, which recently suspended PERM programmes at several major tech companies.
