CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Culture Center / Culture School
BENEFICIARY: Chinese
LOCATION: St. Paul, MN
Our client is from China, who is currently staying in the United States on F-2 status. She has a prospective employer who was willing to do an immigration petition for her, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Arts Education. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that her employer can petition her as an Early Childhood Creative Programs Director. Based on our client’s education, professional and working background, our office determined that she 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 16, 2015, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained the foreign degree evaluation report and Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on August 11, 2015. On October 27, 2015, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on March 28, 2016, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Chinese beneficiary. Now our client can file an I-140 petition.
