On Friday, June 17, 2022, Maryland immigration attorney Tina Sharma will present a panel, “Using PERMs to Transition from Lesser Skilled NIV or Humanitarian Status to Permanent Residence,” at the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) annual conference. The panel will discuss various issues related to permanent labor certification (PERM), which is the first step toward receiving an employment-based green card.
The panel will specifically explore how employers can sponsor individuals with certain non-immigrant or humanitarian visas and obtain the necessary certification from the Department of Labor (DOL) for them to obtain lawful permanent resident status.
