Application For Permanent Employment Certification {ETA-9089}

ETA-9089 - APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT CERTIFICATION. An employer who desires to apply for a labor certification, for occupations other than sports, on behalf of an alien must file Form ETA 9089. The permanent labor certification program is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq. and 20 CFR part 656. Employers applying for labor certification must comply with all regulatory and statutory requirements. Filling ETA Form 9089 is one of the few steps involved in getting a green card based on your employment in the US. This form is to be filled by the employer and not the employee. Any employer or alien, or their agent or attorney, who knowingly and willingly furnishes any false information in the preparation of ETA Form 9089 and any supporting documentation, or aids, abets, or counsels another to do so is committing a federal offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment up to five years or both (18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1001). Other penalties apply as well to fraud or misuse of this immigration document and to perjury with respect to this form (18 U.S.C. §§ 1546, 1621). Employing or continuing to employ an alien unauthorized to work in the United States is illegal and may subject the employer to criminal prosecution, civil money penalties, or both. www.FormsWorkflow.com
