CASE: I-140 (EB-3)
EMPLOYER: E-Commerce Merchandiser Employer in Dallas, TX
BENEFICIARY: Korean E-Business Operations Specialist
Our client is from South Korea and his prospective employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as an E-Business Operations Specialist. Based on our client’s educational, professional and wprl background, our office determined that he was eligible for EB-3 classification.
Prior to filing PERM, our firm prepared the prevailing wage request, job order, advertisements, internal job posting, recruitment report, and all other steps which are important pre-PERM filing. Take note that PERM could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. On November 22, 2016, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on July 10, 2017. On September 13, 2017, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on June 25, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Korean beneficiary.
We then proceeded with the I-140 Petition filing. We submitted the “ability to pay” letter for the I-140 petition application. We included the job offer letter, employer’s tax records, and other necessary supporting documents.
The I-140 Petition was filed on July 17, 2018 via premium processing service. Eventually, on August 2, 2018, the I-140 EB3 Petition for our Korean client was approved without any Request for Evidence (RFE). He can file an I-485 adjustment of status application for his green at any time since his priority dates are current.
