CASE: EB-3 I-140
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Biology Teacher
LOCATION: Casa Grande, AZ
Our client has a current employer willing to do an I-140 Eb3 Petition for her. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has worked for her current employer since September 2017. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification for her I-140 petition. Our client eventually retained us on May 4, 2020.
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, our office filed the job order on September 9, 2020. On November 24, 2020, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on June 7, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipina beneficiary.
We then proceeded with the I-140 Petition. We submitted the “ability to pay” letter for the I-140 petition application. We included the job offer letter, employee’s W-2 copy, and other necessary supporting documents.
The I-140 Petition was filed on June 25, 2021 via regular processing service. Eventually, on March 18, 2022, the I-140 EB3 Petition for our Filipina client was approved without any Request for Evidence (RFE).
