PERM advertising requirements with regard to labor certification are defined in CFR 656.17. Some of the guidelines are hard to understand in brief, so here’s a list of what highly experience immigration attorneys request their employer clients (also known as Petitioner) to run for jobs that require an advanced degree such as a Bachelor’s or Master’s:
Mandatory:
2 Sundays in newspaper of general circulation
State Workforce Authority (SWA) Job Order 30 Days
Additional:
The PERM advertising requirements listed in the CFR recommend that three forms of recruitment are chosen, but we recommend four based on the advice of veteran attorneys who regard the “extra” recruitment as a sort of “insurance policy” against one of the ads getting rejected. If one is rejected on some vague technical bases by the DOL certifying officer in Atlanta, they still have the 3 qualified ads.
