CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Hydraulic Unit Manufacturing Company in Texas
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Hydraulic Power Unit Design and Installation Project Manager
Our client is from the Philippines. His prospective employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, second-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Maritime Transportation and has more than 5 years of work experience as a Hydraulic Equipment Installer / Operator. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as a Hydraulic Power Unit Design and Installation Project Manager. Based on our client’s educational, professional and work background, our office determined that he is eligible for EB-2 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 September 12, 2016, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on January 10, 2017. On May 3, 2017, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on August 11, 2017, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Filipino beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
