CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipino High School Math Teacher
LOCATION: Casa Grande, AZ
Our client has a current employer that was willing to petition for a third-preference I-140. He has a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has worked for his current employer since August 2016. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that he is eligible for EB-3. Our client eventually retained us in April 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. 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 August 12, 2020. On November 5, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on May 21, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipino beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
