CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Elementary School Teacher
LOCATION: Mohave Valley, AZ
Our client has a current employer that as willing to petition her for a third-preference petition (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 work background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification for her I-140 petition. Our client retained us in June 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 July 20, 2020. On October 20, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on May 11, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipina beneficiary without the audit. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
