Can I skip the PERM stage if the company is large?

The EB-3 visa is intended for skilled and unskilled workers who wish to work in the United States and requires steps to prove that there are no American workers available for the position. The PERM certification is mandatory, regardless of the company’s size, aiming to protect the local labor market.

Even large organizations must complete this process required by the Department of Labor. There are no legal shortcuts to skip the PERM stage.

It is essential to follow immigration rules, seek specialized guidance, and consult reliable sources to ensure a safe and effective process toward EB-3 visa approval.
