CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Care Center in Houston, TX
BENEFICIARY: Filipino Information Technology Director in the Philippines
Our client has a prospective employer willing to petition him for a third-preference petition (I-140). Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and currently works for an IT consulting company in the Philippines. We were retained on February 2019.
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 the PERM application 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 was filed. After we obtained the PW determination, the job order was filed on April 28, 2020. On July 7, 2020, we filed PERM. On February 11, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipino beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
