CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: E-Commerce Merchandiser Employer
BENEFICIARY: Korean Operations Research Analyst
Our client is from South Korea and his prospective employer was willing to do an immigration petition for him, second-preference. Our client has a Master’s degree in Business Administration. After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his employer can petition him as an Operations Research Analyst. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that he is clearly 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 May 18, 2017, the prevailing wage request was filed. After we obtained Prevailing Wage determination, our office filed the job order on August 8, 2017. On October 11, 2017, we promptly filed PERM. Eventually, on March 19, 2018, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Korean beneficiary. Now our client can file the I-140 petition.
