What to have ready — Employment (I-140 / PERM)

Documents for your employment case

Employment cases (PERM labor certification and Form I-140) rest on three things: the employer can pay the wage, the job was properly advertised, and the worker truly has the required education and experience. Gather what you can — ImmigrationUSA reads each document and fills the details in for you. You can add items over time; nothing is filed until you review and approve it.

A. Employer / sponsoring company

The business filing the petition

  • Company registration / incorporation papers & IRS EIN (FEIN) letter
    Legal company name, FEIN, principal address, year established
  • Most recent federal business tax return, audited financials, or annual report
    Ability to pay the offered wage; gross & net income; number of employees
  • Company website & About / Careers page link
    Business description, industry (NAICS), locations
  • Recent payroll records or the worker's pay stubs (if already employed)
    Current wage paid to the beneficiary

B. The job & recruitment

PERM labor certification

  • Links to the company's job postings (careers page or job-board URLs)
    Where and when the role was advertised
  • Printed / hard-copy Notice of Filing (the internal posting)
    Internal-posting compliance, dates posted
  • Electronic descriptions of the available job(s) / job-order postings
    Job title, duties, minimum requirements
  • Newspaper or trade-journal recruitment ads
    Additional recruitment steps and dates
  • Prevailing Wage Determination (ETA-9141), if you have it
    Wage level, occupation code, validity dates

C. The foreign worker (beneficiary)

Proof of qualifications

  • Foreign passport (photo page)
    Name, date of birth, nationality, passport number
  • Résumé / CV
    Full work history, job titles, dates, skills
  • Diplomas / degrees
    Degree earned, institution, graduation date
  • Academic transcripts
    Coursework, major, field of study
  • Professional certificates & licenses
    Credentials relevant to the offered role
  • Academic equivalency / credential evaluation
    U.S.-equivalent education for foreign degrees
  • Experience & reference letters from prior employers
    Qualifying experience, job titles, dates, duties
  • Current U.S. status documents — I-94, visa, I-797, EAD (if in the U.S.)
    A-Number, current status, authorized stay

No document needed — you'll just answer

Some details are simply entered in the questionnaire rather than pulled from a document: the exact job duties and minimum requirements, the offered wage, the worksite address(es), and the number of positions.

Focus here first: the worker's credentials (résumé, diplomas, transcripts, equivalency evaluation, and experience letters) and the recruitment records (job postings, the printed notice, and ads). Those are what prove the case — the employer financials round it out.
