Obtaining PERM labor certification from the Department of Labor can be a stressful process. The prevailing wage determination can take months, and even a small typo in your 9089 can result in a time-sucking audit or outright denial.
Among the process’ nuances, perhaps the most aggravating element of PERM is the advertising. Your client intends to hire a specific foreign national, yet you have to jump through hoops to ensure they’re not depriving US workers of potential jobs. In addition to placing a job order with the right State Workforce Agency (SWA), you’re required to place an ad in two Sunday editions of a high-circulation local newspaper, post an internal ad on the company’s premises, and utilize three additional recruitment methods to meet the necessary PERM requirements.
You also have to be punctilious with your ad copy, avoiding the omission of any crucial details (business name, wages, job description) that will sink your application.
On top of all that, you need to coordinate with the SWA, employer, and media sources to compile sufficient evidence that you advertised the right information in the right location for the right amount of time. It’s a high-stakes logistical hurdle that can swallow your time and energy, especially if you’re an immigration attorney with a diverse portfolio of clients.
Park Advertising specializes in strategically placing PERM advertisements guaranteed to meet DOL approval. With over 10 years of experience, our team has helped thousands of clients successfully obtain their green cards. We complete/put in the time-consuming, detail-oriented legwork so you don’t have to think about it.
More importantly, we do it quickly and accurately. Recently, an attorney came to Park with a PERM case in small-town Springfield, MO. She had never placed an ad in this region, and didn’t understand the media landscape. Within six hours, Park identified a high-circulation local newspaper, as well as a local radio program, and sent the attorney a full ad quote for:
1. Two Sundays in the local paper
2. 30 days online
3. 30 days on the Missouri SWA website
4. Two radio spots
Park even caught a crucial typo. The ads listed “Springfield, MA” as the job location instead of “Springfield, MO”, which the Park team immediately corrected.
And when it comes to billing, we’ve even been known to act as the middleman between your client and the media sources, taking care of the paperwork and saving you, the attorney, the additional hassle.
The PERM process is long and complex. Sometimes it feels like a high wire act, where one misstep can cost you months of delays and thousands of dollars. Every word requires careful crafting and documenting in order to comply with DOL and USCIS standards. With Park Advertising, you can be sure that your ads will be accurate, delivered on time, and 9089-ready.

Please provide the ad text as well as the services requested. Many of our clients request specific media sources, but if you are unsure, we would be glad to make a recommendation.
Yes. We will provide you with a payment form, which needs to be sent to us along with your approval to proceed with an ad.
There are no regulations on this matter but many of our clients prefer to avoid starting the PERM recruitment cycle over the holidays.
The cost to place a PERM ad all depends on the word count and the city where the position is being offered. Once you send over your ad text to your Park representative, we can reach out to our newspaper reps to get you a precise quote.
We take screenshots on the first and last days that the online ads are live.
All of our newspaper reps are directed to mail the physical tearsheets to our clients’ addresses, and once the 30 day PERM advertising cycle is complete, Park will deliver an Etear package in a single PDF.
