CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Accounting Company in Akron, OH
BENEFICIARY: Chinese Associate Accountant
Our client is from China. His current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as an Associate Accountant. 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 February 27, 2018, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on June 7, 2018. On September 13, 2018, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on November 8, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Chinese beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
