CASE: I-140 (EB-3)
EMPLOYER: Online IT Service Petitioner
BENEFICIARY: Kyrgyz Network and Computer Systems Administrator in Chicago, IL
Our client has a prospective employer that was willing to file and I-140 for her. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and worked for IT consulting companies in the past. Based on our client’s education work background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification for her I-140 petition.
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 the PERM application could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. Within a week from our retention, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained the PW determination, the job order was filed on April 9, 2021. On July 16, 2021, we filed PERM. On January 5, 2022, the PERM Labor Certification was approved without the audit.
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 most recent tax return copy, and other necessary supporting documents.
The I-140 Petition was filed on February 24, 2022 via regular processing service. On March 10, 2022, we filed the I-907 premium processing upgrade request. Eventually, on March 21, 2022, the I-140 EB3 Petition for our Kyrgyz client was approved without any Request for Evidence (RFE).
