PERM vs. H-1B — What's the Difference?
PERM (ETA-9089) is the labor certification an employer must obtain from the Department of Labor before filing an employment-based green card petition (I-140) — the first formal step toward permanent residence.
An H-1B Labor Condition Application is a different filing for temporary work authorization. A company can file heavily in one and rarely in the other for the same occupation, so the figures above are not a restatement of Computer and Information Research Scientists H-1B volume.See Computer and Information Research Scientists H-1B data →
