CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Biology Teacher
LOCATION: Casa Grande, AZ
Our client’s employer was willing to file a third-preference petition (I-140) for her. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has worked for her current employer since September 2017. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-3 classification for her I-140 petition. Our client eventually retained us on May 4, 2020.
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, our office filed the job order on September 9, 2020. On November 24, 2020, we filed PERM.
Eventually, on June 7, 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.
