我的一個朋友在加州有個小型的NGO（非營利機構）， 成立三年了，就3個全職人員，是做環保方麵的。 現在他想給我一個工作職位。我想問各位老師，這種規模的機構是否可以有資格幫我申請居留 和綠卡？
-Yes. The size of the organization is not a problem for PERM.
機構需要什麽樣的條件才可以有資格幫我辦理？
-The organziztion has to have the ability to pay the foreign employee at the prevail wage level of PERM and has to follow the PERM procedure to advertise the position and recruit the employee. Your friend had better find a lawyer to help him/her.
如果可以，是怎麽辦理，機構需要向政府繳納什麽費用或稅之類的嗎？
-Based on the law, the employer needs to pay the lawyer fee for PERM filing, position advertisement fee and PERM filing fee, and the employer does not have to pay the I-140/I-485 filing fee (the employee has to pay it if the employer does not pay that fee). Sometimes some employers pay all the fee, whereas sometimes the employee pay all the fee. So, actually it is between the employer and the employee and normally nobody check it seriously.
因為如果成本過高的話，這機構可能就會放棄給我辦理。
我是博士畢業一年了，現在在紐約這裏，在大學機構工作了一年，想換到洛杉磯這邊來。
非常感謝大家瀏覽我的問題，先謝謝您的回答。
