CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Dental Group in Cleveland, OH
BENEFICIARY: Korean Dentist
Our client is from South Korea who is currently working in the United States as an associate dentist under an H-1B status. Her current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for her, second-preference. Our client has a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in the United States. Based on these, her employer can petition her as an associate dentist. She 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. PERM could be filed at least 60 days from the job posting date or 30 days from the last ad. On December 6, 2019, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained the Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on March 30, 2020. On June 4, 2020, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on December 3, 2020, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Korean beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
