Our client has a current employer that as willing to file an I-140 petition for. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Geology, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has worked for his current employer since August 2016. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that he is eligible for EB-3 classification for his I-140 petition. Our client eventually retained us in April 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 August 19, 2020. On December 4, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on August 18, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipino beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
