CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Public School District
BENEFICIARY: Filipina Elementary Special Education Teacher
LOCATION: Mohave Valley, AZ
Our client has a current employer that was willing to do an EB2 Petition. Our client has a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a valid Arizona Teaching license, and has more than 5 years of experience as a Special Education Teacher. Based on our client’s education and work background, our office determined that she is eligible for EB-2 classification for her I-140 petition. Our client eventually retained us in May 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 October 15, 2020. On January 8, 2021, we promptly filed PERM.
Eventually, on July 6, 2021, the PERM Labor Certification was approved without any audit – an EB2 position for the Filipina beneficiary. Our client can file the I-140 petition at any time.
