CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Architecture Company in Cleveland, OH
BENEFICIARY: Chinese Architectural Designer
Our client is from China. His current employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, third-preference. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. After talking to our client, our firm thought that his employer can petition him as an Architectural Designer. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office thought that he is clearly 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 February 20, 2018, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on June 6, 2018. On August 28, 2018, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on October 29, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Chinese beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
