CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Consulting Company
BENEFICIARY: Chinese Financial Analyst
LOCATION: New York, NY
Our client is a financial analyst from China, who is currently working at a consulting company in New York City. The company was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Economics.
After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as a Financial Analyst. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background as a financial analyst, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for EB-3 classification.
Prior to filing PERM labor certification, 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 Labor Certification 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. On June 13, 2014, we filed the PERM labor certification application. Eventually, on October 31, 2014, exactly four months from filing, the PERM labor certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Chinese Financial Analyst. Now our client can file an I-140 Petition.
