Question 3

How long does it take to get a green card through GROUP HEALTH PLAN, INC.?

The DOL may audit a PERM application if certain risk factors are present: layoffs within 6 months of filing, the foreign worker having an ownership interest in the company, job requirements that exceed the norm for the occupation, foreign language requirements, or combination occupations. An audit requires additional documentation but does not mean the case will be denied. See the risk factors section above for GROUP HEALTH PLAN, INC.'s specific audit triggers.
