CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Beauty Supply Distributing / Retail Company in Cleveland, OH
BENEFICIARY: Korean Product Safety / Quality Assurance Director
Our client is from South Korea, who is currently working in the U.S. on his H-1B status. His current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Degree and has worked for the current employer as a Product Safety / Quality Assurance Director. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as a Product Safety / Quality Assurance Director. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working backgrounds, our office determined that he is clearly 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 5, 2016, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on May 5, 2016. On August 1, 2016, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on October 24, 2016, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Korean beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
