Sky-high PERM ads, and last-minute extra fees?

Did you know employment-based green card The most important step is PERM. It means the employer needs to put the job requirements in the local newspaper or on recruitment websites to try to hire U.S. citizens or green card holders, but if they cannot, therefore we need to help the foreign worker apply for an employment-based green card.


Recently our law firm had a client. His advertisement location was in Missouri, a rather remote place. And in that area, the local newspaper there was only one. Scarcity drives up value. So the advertising agency we worked with contacted the local newspaper and after contacting them received a very high quote. The employer was very shocked, but it was the only one in the area that met PERM requirements. So the employer reluctantly accepted the quote.


The quote was confirmed, but on the third day of running the ad, the advertising agency came back to us. They said, sorry, I miscalculated the word count and need to charge more. At that time we stepped in. We firmly argued and said, you had already given my client a quote. OK, my client had reluctantly accepted this quote. I believe you need to honor your promise.


So the advertising agency had no choice. On one hand, while meeting PERM requirements, they tried to shorten the wording. On the other hand, they negotiated with the local newspaper to maintain the original price. So through these efforts, in the end, our client did not pay an extra penny, and the newspaper published the advertisement for us.


So PERM advertising is not something you can casually place. Every detail, every quote, every word count needs to be carefully reviewed by an attorney.


If you also want to apply for an employment-based green card, feel free to reach out to us. Follow Zeng Law Group, PLLC in New York, never be left without a solution. Bye bye.



大家知道吗，雇佣绿卡最重要的一步就是 PERM。他的意思就是，雇主需要把招聘的条件放到当地的报纸或者是招聘网站上，尝试招美国公民或者绿卡，但是招不到，所以呢，我们要给这个外籍人员申请雇佣绿卡。


最近，我们律所有一个客户，他的广告地点是在密苏里州一个比较偏僻的地方。那么这个当地的报纸吗，就只有一家。物以稀为贵，所以我们合作的广告机构去跟当地报纸联系了之后，获得了一个非常高的报价。那么雇主也非常震惊，但是他是当地唯一的一个满足 PERM 要求的报纸，那么雇主也就勉强接受了这个报价了。


报价确认好了，但是在打广告的第三天，这个合作的广告机构他就来联系我们。他就说，不好意思，我少算了字，要再加钱。这个时候呢，就是我们来出场了。那么我们据理力争就说，你已经给我客户报价了，OK，我的客户已经勉强接受这个报价了，我觉得你需要信守承诺。


所以的话，这个广告机构他也是没有办法。他一边在符合 PERM 要求的情况下，尝试删减一些字数，一边又跟当地的报纸联系，希望维持原价。所以就是在种种的努力下，最后，我们的客户没有多出一分钱，这个报纸是帮我们刊登了广告的。


所以 PERM 广告，他并不是随便登登的。那么他的每一个细节、每一个报价、每一个字数，都是需要律师来把关的。


如果你也希望申请雇佣绿卡，不妨找我们聊聊。关注纽约曾晖律师，不再无计可施。拜拜。
