1. 先确认雇主主体
取得雇主完整法定名称、注册州、工作地点、业务类型和实际经营状态。网站品牌可能与工资或申请主体不同，应说明关系。TIHU展示岗位时也必须标注“集团关联雇主”或“核验合作雇主”，不能把独立雇主写成自有资源。
2. 判断岗位是否来自真实经营需要
岗位应有明确的长期、全职工作内容、地点、最低学历或经验要求、工资范围、班次和汇报关系。岗位数量要与雇主规模、客户订单、营业时间和人员流动相匹配。只有一封Offer Letter，没有业务需求和组织位置，不足以证明工作真实存在。
3. 核对PERM流程逻辑
美国劳工部说明，PERM以真实永久全职工作机会为起点，通常包括现行工资申请、招聘和ETA Form 9089。申请人要理解：招聘并非“走形式”，劳工证也不是绿卡批准。职位要求、招聘广告、申请表和最终工作必须保持一致，虚假陈述可能带来拒绝、撤销或调查。
4. 核验工资与支付能力
应确认适用工资、承诺工资和工作地点，并了解雇主如何证明在相关期间具备支付能力。税表、财务报表、工资记录、员工规模和持续经营可以形成证据，但最终是否满足移民要求由政府按个案判断。不要接受以未来工资返还、免费劳动或变相扣款交换担保的安排。
5. 弄清谁承担哪些费用
20 CFR §656.12对永久劳工证相关付款有明确限制：雇主不得就取得劳工证的活动向外籍员工索取或收取付款，包括雇主律师费等；申请人可承担自身合法成本，但同一律师同时代表双方时存在特别规则。具体费用必须由律师结合合同和实际角色审查，不能把岗位包装成商品销售。
6. 预先处理长期等待中的变化
职业移民可能持续多年。签约前应问清雇主被收购、岗位关闭、地点变化、排期倒退或申请人情况改变时如何处理。机构应定期更新岗位开放状态、雇主核验日期和申请阶段，并明确它能协调什么、不能控制什么。正确表述是“雇主提供真实工作机会，并依法支持职业移民申请”；雇主并不能直接授予任何人的移民身份。
Note for applicants based in China
Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
