What Form ETA-9089 is for

Department of Labor form used in the PERM labor certification process for employment-based immigration.

Application for Permanent Employment Certification (ETA-9089) is generally filed by employers, workers, and investors in employment-based immigration categories. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

  • Prepare the form from the information you provide

What Asal cannot legally advise on

  • We do not provide legal advice or case strategy.
  • We do not represent you before USCIS.

Fees and official sources

USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current ETA-9089 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.

Processing times for ETA-9089 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.

USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
