The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) recently released the latest edition of its Guide to PERM Labor Certification, which aims to make learning and succeeding in the PERM arena easier for all immigration attorneys.

Partner Sarah Peterson contributed to multiple chapters, including

  • Chapter 2, “Knowing What To Do And When To Do It: A Step-By-Step Guide To Successful PERM Labor Certification Practice,” which details an eight step process to help attorneys streamline their PERM labor certification applications.
  • Chapter 14, “What Are SOC Codes And Why Do They Matter In PERM,” explaining the importance of understanding the SOC structure and how it impacts the PERM process.
  • Chapter 15, “Documenting Travel Requirements In The Age Of Telecommuting And Workforce Mobility,” with Partner Kevin Miner about overcoming the challenges of representing travel in the PERM labor certification process.

Senior Associate Tiffany Chang Wu wrote Chapter 25, “Lawful, Job-Related Reasons An Employer Can Use To Reject An Applicant,” reviewing common lawful, job-related reasons for which an employer may reject a potentially qualified U.S. worker during the PERM labor certification recruitment process.
