Green Card Secretary Jobs
Secretary jobs with green card sponsorship follow the EB-2 or EB-3 path: your employer files a PERM labor certification with the Department of Labor, then an I-140 petition with USCIS, before you adjust status or pursue consular processing for lawful permanent residence. Per-country backlogs apply.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Secretary
Match your credentials to the right EB category
EB-3 covers secretaries with a bachelor's degree or at least two years of verifiable experience. If you hold an advanced degree, EB-2 may apply. Pull your credential evaluation early so your employer files under the correct category from the start.
Find employers with PERM filing history on Migrate Mate
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with verified employment-based green card sponsorship history for administrative and secretary roles. That history signals a legal team already familiar with PERM requirements, reducing delays in your case.
Verify your offered wage against OFLC Wage Search
PERM requires your employer to pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Check the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer so your salary clears the threshold and your employer's recruitment test isn't invalidated late.
Understand what the PERM recruitment test means for you
Your employer must advertise the secretary role, document that no qualified U.S. worker applied, and submit that recruitment record to DOL. This process typically takes several months before the I-140 can be filed, so build that timeline into your planning.
Check your O*NET occupation code before the I-140 is filed
USCIS uses your occupation's O*NET profile to assess whether the role genuinely requires the degree or experience claimed. Confirm your employer's job description aligns with the O*NET tasks for secretaries and administrative assistants to reduce Request for Evidence risk.
Protect your priority date if you change employers mid-process
Once your original I-140 is approved, your priority date can transfer to a new employer's I-140. AC21 portability also lets you move to a same or similar occupation once your I-485 has been pending 180 days. Neither benefit is automatic; document both carefully with USCIS.
Green Card Secretary: Frequently Asked Questions
Can a secretary role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Yes. EB-3 is the more common path: it covers professionals with a bachelor's degree and skilled workers with at least two years of experience, both of which apply to many secretary positions. EB-2 is available if the role genuinely requires an advanced degree or the equivalent in a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in the specific field.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for a secretary role?
Green card sponsorship leads to lawful permanent residence, not a temporary status. The process starts with PERM labor certification filed with the Department of Labor, followed by an I-140 petition with USCIS, and finally adjustment of status or consular processing. There is no lottery, but per-country numerical limits mean nationals of high-demand countries like India and China can face significant priority-date backlogs before they can file the final I-485 step.
How do I find employers willing to sponsor a secretary for a green card?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified employment-based green card sponsorship history, searchable by role type and location. Focusing on employers who have completed PERM filings before is practical because they already have legal processes in place, which shortens internal decision timelines and reduces the risk of an employer backing out midway through.
What happens to my green card case if I change employers before it is approved?
Two separate protections exist. First, once your original I-140 is approved, a new employer can file a fresh I-140 and you can retain your original priority date, which preserves your place in the per-country queue. Second, AC21 portability lets you change to the same or a similar occupation without restarting the process, but only after your I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days. Neither is automatic; both require documentation submitted to USCIS.
What is the PERM labor certification process and how long does it take?
PERM is a Department of Labor process requiring your employer to conduct a formal recruitment test, document that no qualified U.S. worker was available for the secretary role, and submit that evidence to DOL with a prevailing wage determination. DOL then certifies or audits the application. The recruitment and preparation phase alone typically takes several months before the PERM application is filed, and DOL processing adds additional time before the I-140 stage can begin.
