How to apply

• Pick a job marked “Hiring” and apply online
• Upload an up-to-date résumé, ideally with a photo
• Jobs marked “Coming soon” aren’t open yet; leave your details instead

When you apply you’ll see the fees, the process and what’s expected of you. Read them carefully and submit only if you agree.

Meet our team online to go over your application and have a short conversation in English. Pre-screens are group sessions at set times.

If the pre-screen goes well, we interview you one-on-one: the program details, the process and payment schedule, your questions, and whether you’re ready to start.

Next you interview with the employer online. Afterwards we’ll tell you whether you were selected.

If you’re selected you receive the employer’s offer letter to review and sign. If not, we’ll suggest other jobs you could consider.

Once we have your signed offer letter we open your client portal, where you can:

• check your case status any time
• fill in your information questionnaire
• upload documents
• see your invoices and pay the first installment

PERM is the employer’s labor certification with the Department of Labor. The employer gets a prevailing wage, advertises the job locally, and files ETA-9089 once it’s clear no qualified U.S. worker is available.

• The attorney sends you the draft to check your name, address and other details
• After filing you get a case number to track on the DOL website
• Your priority date is the day DOL receives the PERM, and it sets your place in line

Within 180 days of PERM approval the employer files the I-140 with USCIS. You’ll review a draft first. After filing you get a receipt number to track online. Premium processing is optional and only speeds up this step, not the visa bulletin wait.

In the U.S. in valid status: when your date is current you file I-485 to adjust status, together with your family, and can apply for a work permit and travel document at the same time.

Outside the U.S.: after I-140 approval you file the DS-260 and documents with the National Visa Center; when your date is current you’re scheduled for a consular interview, with a medical exam beforehand.

With adjustment of status you become a permanent resident when USCIS approves it. With consular processing you receive an immigrant visa, usually valid for 6 months, and become a permanent resident when you enter the U.S.

As a permanent resident you start with your sponsoring employer. We help you find housing, open a bank account, get a Social Security card and settle into your new city.
