How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- PERM labour certification is administered by the US Department of Labor, not by the Department of Homeland Security.
- PERM is the first stage of the employment-based green-card process; the immigrant petition to USCIS follows it.
- Nasscom is the industry association of India's information technology and business process services sector.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 (International Relations, Indian diaspora): The suspension of Indian IT majors from PERM filings exposes the vulnerability of India's services exports and skilled-worker mobility to US labour-regulation shifts. India should pursue dialogue within India-US trade and mobility talks, push firms towards compliance and diversification of markets, and strengthen domestic skilling and high-value services.
