CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Elementary School Teacher
LOCATION: Mohave Valley, AZ
Our client has a current employer that was willing to petition her for a third-preference position (I-140). Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has worked for her current employer since July 2014. Based on our client’s education and professional background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification. Our client eventually retained us in June 2014.
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 October 14, 2019. On January 10, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on May 13, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipina beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
