CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: School
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Middle School Science Teacher
LOCATION: Mt. Clemens, MI
Our client has a current employer that was willing to petition her for a third-preference petition (I-140). Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a valid Michigan Teaching license, and has worked for her current employer since May 2018. Based on her education and credentials, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification for her I-140 petition. Our client eventually retained us in October 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 only 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, our office assisted the Petitioner to file the job order on June 26, 2020. On October 12, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on May 3, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB3 position for the Filipina beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
