CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Home Health Services in Chicago Illinois
BENEFICIARY: Nigerian Director of Business Technology and Strategy
The beneficiary of this labor certification is Nigerian, who is in the U.S on H-4 status. His prospective employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, second-preference. Our client has a Master’s degree in Engineering Management.
Our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as a Director of Business Technology and Strategy. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for EB-2 classification.
Prior to filing PERM labor certification, 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 only be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad.
On October 28, 2014, the prevailing wage request was filed. On April 17, 2015, we filed the PERM labor certification application. Eventually, on November 17, 2015, the PERM labor certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Nigerian Director of Business Technology and Strategy. Now our client can file an I-140 Petition and his I-485 adjustment of status application simultaneously.
