Another one of our prime services here at Shihab Burke LLC Immigration Lawyers is processing PERM Labor Certifications. The Perm Labor Certification is used in the EB-2 and EB-3 employment based category visas.

There are some points to demonstrate in order to establish your are in fact of national interest to the U.S. Government, including having substantial merit and national importance, being well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor, and that it would be beneficial to the United States Government to waive the requirements of a job offer and the the labor certification.
