CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Heavy Equipment Rental Company Petitioner in Christiansted, VI
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Warehouse Supervisory Training Specialist
Our client is from the Philippines. His prospective employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Education. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that he is eligible for EB-3 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 April 21, 2021, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on October 9, 2021. On February 17, 2022, we filed PERM. On October 28, 2022, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipino beneficiary. Now the I-140 petition can be prepared and filed.
