Of particular import is the early involvement of Faculty Advising in the process involving potential international employees.  Considerations include:

• The activity must include teaching/instructional activities for the University
• There must be a minimum of one print ad in a national professional journal OR a 30 day ad in an "electronic journal"
• Ads should follow the PERM Advertisement Guidelines (Word) (PDF)
• The date on the job offer starts the 18 month clock for the Labor Certification (PERM) filing deadline
• The offered wage must exceed the Department of Labor's Prevailing Wage Determination
• A final recruitment and selection report must be submitted by the official with hiring authority
