VISANOW Solution Simplifies
the Green Card Application Process
for Employers
Enhanced functionality helps HR
departments manage PERM process for
employment-based green cards
CHICAGO, IL July 22, 2008 –
VISANOW,
the industry leading immigration
solution provider, today announced
the introduction of enhanced
technology designed to simplify the
Process Electronic Review Management
(PERM) labor certification process
required for employment-based
permanent residency applications,
commonly referred to as green cards.
“Companies rely on international
talent to remain competitive in the
global environment, and hiring
foreign nationals has become a
critical internal process,”
commented Robert Meltzer, VISANOW
CEO. “VISANOW’s PERM management
interface was designed to make it as
easy as possible for employers to
manage what can be a challenging
task. By providing employers with
transparency and direct access to
information, our technology removes
administrative complications and
delivers a higher level of clarity
for the application process.”
PERM is an electronic filing process
designed by the U.S. Department of
Labor and is the first step towards
obtaining employment-based permanent
residence. The typical
employment-based green card process
can be broken down into the
following three filing stages:
- The
Program Electronic Review Management
(PERM) Labor Certification and
submission of FORM ETA 9089;
- Form I-140 – an employment-based
immigration petition; and
- Form I-485 – the adjustment of
status application for permanent
residency (which ultimately results
in the issuance of a green card).
The VISANOW web-based solution was
designed to operate in conjunction
with these stages and ease the
transition for employers and foreign
nationals applying for residency.
The VISANOW case management
interface visually outlines and
organizes the PERM process for both
corporate HR professionals and the
applicants filing for permanent
residency. The design of the
interface separates each step of the
process into easily identifiable
stages. Each stage includes specific
requirements that are tracked and
updated in real-time through the
online solution as criteria are
fulfilled. The interface also
features timelines that clearly mark
recruitment and filing periods to
ensure a timely and successful
application is filed.
“Green cards play a crucial role in
helping organizations secure the
global talent they need,” said
Meltzer. “Employers can create a
recruiting advantage through their
green card application process. A
strategic approach to immigration
helps employers keep their process
moving forward and serves as a
recruiting tool to provide a
much-needed edge when attracting
future employees.”
