US Permanent Residence (Employment Based)

Employment-based permanent residence in the United States is a multi-stage process that requires sequencing, documentation consistency, and long-term planning. Depending on the employment category and priority date movement, timelines can extend over several years. Most employment-based Green Card cases progress through three core stages:

​

  1. PERM Labor Certification (when applicable)

  2. Form I-140 – Immigrant Petition

  3. Form I-485 – Adjustment of Status

​

Who this is for

  • Employers sponsoring employees for permanent residence

  • Professionals pursuing employment-based Green Cards

  • Individuals navigating multi-year immigration timelines

​

How GloJourn supports

  • Structured coordination of the PERM labor certification process

  • Documentation alignment across PERM, I-140, and I-485 stages

  • Case tracking and milestone monitoring
