Free Tool to Check Any Employer's EB-3 PERM Sponsorship Record: 11M Filings Since 2008

A software engineer has released hire4real.fyi, a free and open-source database indexing every PERM (labor certification) and LCA (Labor Condition Application) filing in the United States since 2008. The tool covers 11 million filings across 333,000 employers, giving job seekers direct access to federal records that were previously difficult to aggregate or search. For EB-3 applicants, PERM labor certification is a critical and often slow first step in the green card process. The ability to verify an employer's actual sponsorship track record—including certified, denied, and withdrawn cases—before accepting a job offer or starting a sponsorship conversation is a significant practical advantage. The tool surfaces data including certified versus denied versus withdrawn PERM outcomes, USCIS petition results, employer wage data, and how any given employer ranks within their industry sector and among all U.S. sponsors. This allows applicants to distinguish employers who routinely sponsor green cards from those who list 'will sponsor' in job postings without a demonstrated history. Because the underlying data comes directly from DOL and USCIS federal filings, the information is authoritative rather than self-reported. No account or signup is required to use the tool, lowering the barrier for applicants at any stage of their immigration journey. For anyone in the EB-3 pipeline or evaluating potential sponsoring employers, checking an employer's filing history on hire4real.fyi before engaging in sponsorship discussions is now a practical due diligence step that previously required legal resources or FOIA requests to accomplish.
