The questions your team needs answered
Every perm labor certification intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you seeking an employment-based green card through a U.S. employer (not through family, asylum, or a lottery)? | Confirms the candidate's path is employment-based rather than family, asylum, or lottery-driven, which is the baseline fit test for a PERM intake. |
| Do you have a specific U.S. employer that is willing to sponsor you for a permanent, full-time job? | A willing sponsoring employer is the backbone of PERM; without one there is no case to file. |
| Is the job located in the United States? | PERM requires a U.S.-based job, so an offshore position disqualifies the case immediately. |
| Is the employer willing to handle the PERM process, including required job ads and paperwork? | If the employer won't run the required job ads and handle the PERM paperwork, the case can't proceed regardless of candidate merit. |
| Do you meet the job’s minimum requirements (such as education, experience, licenses, or skills) as they would be listed for the position? | A mismatch between the candidate's credentials and the job's stated minimums invites DOL audit risk that's worth flagging before a consultation. |
| Is this job offer for a real, ongoing position (not a short-term contract or temporary project)? | PERM only applies to permanent, ongoing roles, so a contract or project-based offer weakens the case. |
| Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa or green card, or been ordered removed/deported from the U.S.? | A prior denial or removal doesn't automatically disqualify PERM eligibility but flags the case for deeper review before booking time. |
| Are you currently in the United States in a valid immigration status or otherwise able to continue the process from where you are (either in the U.S. or abroad)? | Current status affects whether the candidate can continue the process domestically or needs to plan around visa timing abroad. |

Built for perm labor certification workflows
| Cliont capability | PERM Labor Certification application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Weighs confirmed employer sponsorship, U.S. job location, and permanent job offer heavier than any other answer, since these determine whether a PERM case can even be filed. |
| Conditional flagging | Surfaces a prior visa denial or removal order as a review flag rather than an automatic rejection, keeping the case visible to the attorney instead of silently dropping it. |
| Document capture | Requests a resume and job offer letter alongside the qualification questions so credential mismatches are visible before the consultation is scheduled. |
| CRM routing | Sends only leads with a confirmed, willing sponsoring employer and permanent job offer into the CRM as qualified, holding back cases with no sponsor yet. |
Common perm labor certification lead scenarios
Employer-Sponsored, Fully Qualified
A candidate has a specific employer willing to sponsor a permanent role and meets the job's stated minimum requirements, scoring as a strong PERM case worth a consultation.
No Employer Lined Up Yet
Someone is seeking an employment-based green card but has no employer willing to sponsor a permanent job, which the intake flags as lower fit since PERM cannot start without a sponsoring employer.
Prior Visa Denial or Removal Order
A candidate discloses a past visa denial or removal order, a lower-fit signal the intake surfaces so the attorney can review before booking time.
Doesn't Meet Job Minimum Requirements
The candidate's education or experience falls short of the job's stated minimums, raising DOL audit risk that the intake captures before any consultation is offered.
Contract Role, Not Permanent
The job offer is short-term or project-based rather than a permanent, ongoing position, which the intake weighs against PERM eligibility since the process requires a permanent job offer.

PERM Labor Certification lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a client who doesn't have an employer yet?
The intake asks directly whether a specific U.S. employer is willing to sponsor a permanent job. Without a confirmed sponsor, the lead scores as lower priority since PERM cannot move forward without one.
Does the intake check whether the candidate actually meets the job's requirements?
Yes, it asks whether the candidate meets the education, experience, licenses, or skills that would be listed for the position, which helps flag mismatches that could invite a DOL audit before you spend consultation time.
What happens if a lead discloses a prior visa denial or removal order?
That answer is captured as a lower-fit signal rather than an automatic disqualifier, so it surfaces for attorney review instead of silently dropping the lead.
Can this intake tell PERM cases apart from H-1B, EB-1, or other employment-based paths?
The first question confirms the candidate is pursuing an employment-based green card through an employer rather than family, asylum, or a lottery, which separates PERM inquiries from siblings like H-1B Specialty Occupation or EB-1 EB-2 EB-3 Immigrant Visas.
What does the intake ask about the job itself, not just the candidate?
It confirms the job is U.S.-based, permanent and full-time, and that the employer is willing to handle the required job ads and PERM paperwork, since all three are prerequisites for filing.
What documents does the intake collect before a consultation is booked?
It's built to collect a resume and job offer letter or draft job description, plus proof of current immigration status, so the attorney has the sponsorship and eligibility picture upfront.
