CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Professional Services Staffing Company
BENEFICIARY: Pakistani
LOCATION: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Our client is a Computer Engineer who had a Professional Staffing Company willing to petition him for an second-preference petition. Second preference petitions for Pakistanis are current, which means that if a PERM Labor Certification for a second preference position gets approved, the I-140 and I-485 could be filed simultaneously. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as an operations research analyst, which is an EB2 position. We were retained in the last week of December.
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. Within a week from our retention, the prevailing wage request and the job order were both immediately filed. Thus the earliest we could file was around the first week of March. On March 7, 2011, we promptly filed PERM. On April 27, 2011, less than two months from filing, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Pakistani beneficiary. Now were on to the next step which is filing the I-140, I-485, and I-765 simultaneously.
