CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Hospital
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Doctor
LOCATION: Erie, PA
Our client is a family doctor from the Philippines, who is currently working at a hospital in Erie Pennsylvania who was willing to do an immigration petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140). Our client has an M.D. degree and is a licensed doctor in the state of Pennsylvania. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as a Family Medicine Physician. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background as a family doctor, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for the EB-2 classification for his I-140 petition.
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 May 10, 2012, we filed the PERM labor certification application. Eventually, on July 17, 2012, a little after two months from filing, the PERM labor certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Filipino doctor. Now our client can file the I-140 Petition. He can file the I-485 green card application and I-765 once the priority dates becomes current.
