What Comes After H-1B?

Some individuals working in the U.S. in H-1B status will eventually apply for U.S. permanent resident ("green card") status. The U.S. Department of Labor recently released some interesting statistics for PERM labor certifications (typically the first step in the employment-based green card process) for Fiscal Year 2007.

The top ten states for PERM labor certifications were: (1) California, (2) New York, (3) New Jersey, (4) Texas, (5) Florida, (6) Illinois, (7) Virginia, (8) Washington, (9) Massachusetts, and (10) Michigan.
