Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Assistant Secretary
Match your credentials to EB-2 or EB-3
An advanced degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive administrative experience qualifies you for EB-2. If your background is a four-year degree alone, EB-3 professional is the right category. Getting this classification right before you apply prevents I-140 rejections.
Find sponsors through Migrate Mate
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers who have sponsored green cards for administrative and executive support roles. The platform shows verified PERM filing history by occupation, so you can target organizations that have already navigated the DOL recruitment and certification process.
Request a prevailing wage determination early
Your employer must obtain a prevailing wage determination from OFLC before advertising the role. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the wage level for your specific SOC code and work location, so you can confirm an employer's offer aligns with what DOL will certify.
Document progressive responsibility at each employer
PERM labor certification for administrative roles requires detailed job duty descriptions. Gather performance reviews, promotion letters, and org-chart evidence showing increasing scope of responsibility. USCIS scrutinizes whether an Assistant Secretary role genuinely requires the advanced degree or experience claimed in the I-140.
Negotiate I-140 filing before your start date
Ask the employer to commit to filing the I-140 within a defined timeframe after your start date. Getting this in your offer letter matters because your priority date, which determines your place in the per-country queue, is established only once the I-140 is filed with USCIS.
Understand AC21 portability before you change jobs
If your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more and you receive a new offer in a same or similar occupation, AC21 portability lets you change employers without losing your place in the queue. Confirm the new role's SOC code overlaps with your original PERM classification before accepting.
Green Card Assistant Secretary: Frequently Asked Questions
Which green card category fits an Assistant Secretary role?
Most Assistant Secretary positions qualify under EB-2 if the role requires an advanced degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive administrative experience. If the position requires only a four-year degree, EB-3 professional applies. Your employer's PERM labor certification will specify the minimum requirements, and those requirements must match the credentials you actually hold.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B for this role?
Green card sponsorship leads to lawful permanent residence, not a temporary status tied to an employer. The process starts with PERM labor certification filed with the Department of Labor, which requires a formal recruitment test and a prevailing wage determination, then moves to an I-140 petition with USCIS. Unlike H-1B visa, there is no lottery, but per-country numerical limits mean nationals of high-demand countries can face significant priority-date backlogs before the I-485 can be filed.
How do I find employers who sponsor green cards for administrative roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified PERM filing history searchable by occupation and location. Because PERM data is public DOL disclosure information, you can confirm an organization has sponsored roles in the same occupational category before you invest time in an application, which is more reliable than relying on a job posting that mentions sponsorship without specifics.
What does the PERM recruitment process involve for my employer?
Before filing PERM, your employer must run a formal recruitment test to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the Assistant Secretary role. This typically includes posting on the DOL job bank, two Sunday newspaper advertisements, and three additional recruitment steps. DOL reviews the results and certifies the application only if the recruitment shows an absence of qualified U.S. applicants at the prevailing wage.
Can I keep my priority date if I change employers after PERM is certified?
Yes, in two distinct situations. If your original employer's I-140 was approved, a new employer can file a new I-140 and you can request to retain the earlier priority date. Separately, once your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, AC21 portability lets you change to a same or similar occupation without losing your adjustment of status filing. These are separate rules, and both require USCIS approval of the portability claim.
