CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Tire Mold Manufacturing Company in Akron, OH
BENEFICIARY: Korean Molding Process Engineer
Our client is from South Korea. His current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. After talking to our client, our firm concluded they can petition the beneficiary as a Molding Process Engineer. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that he is 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 January 17, 2018, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on April 4, 2018. On June 21, 2018, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on August 16, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Korean beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
