CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: IT Consulting Company
BENEFICIARY: Indian Computer Systems Analyst
LOCATION: Jacksonville, FL
Our client is a computer systems analyst from India, who is currently working at an IT consulting company in Jacksonville, Florida which was willing to do an immigration petition him for a second-preference position (I-140 EB-2). Our client has a Master of Science degree in Computer Information Systems and has worked for this company under H-1B status. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as a Computer Systems Analyst II. Based on our client’s education and professional background, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for the EB-2 classification for his 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 Labor Certification application could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. Once retained, our office filed the prevailing wage request in April 2015. On October 16, 2015, we filed the PERM labor certification application. Eventually, on March 24, 2016, less than 6 months from filing, the PERM labor certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Indian Computer Systems Analyst. Now our client can file the I-140 Petition.
