Pursuant to U.S. Department of Labor regulations, CSUN may file a PERM labor certification application to start the process to sponsor a Tenure-track Faculty employee for Permanent Resident status under the “special recruitment” process for university teachers.
The permanent resident status is reserved for international faculty who has been offered permanent positions at California State University, Northridge. CSUN will sponsor permanent resident status only for an individual of exceptional ability who has been offered a full-time, permanent position as a faculty member.
CSUN policy requires that the international faculty seek the assistance of an outside attorney with his or her permanent resident case.
The Office of Faculty Affairs will serve as the liaison between the international faculty, California Faculty Association (CFA) union representative and the immigration attorney hired by the international faculty who is seeking permanent resident status.
For information about CSUN sponsorship for permanent resident status, please contact Ashley Thompson at (818) 677 2962 or at ashley.thompson@csun.edu to initiate the process.
