CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Sensor Manufacturing Company in Irvine, CA
BENEFICIARY: Japanese Engineering Manager
Our client from Japan works for his US employer on an H1B status. His current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, second-preference. Our client has a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as an Engineering Manager. Based on our client’s education and resume, our office determined that he is eligible for EB-2 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 20, 2018, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on May 22, 2018. On September 17, 2018, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on November 28, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Japanese beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
