Our law firm filed a PERM case for a Spa Manager working in California.  Prior to filing the PERM application we obtained the prevailing wage for the position, prepared the required notice of filing for the employer to post at the work location, and prepared the recruitment consisting of a 30 day state job order, 2 Sunday Newspaper ads, and advertisements on the employer web site, on a job search web site and on the web site of a professional organization.  The position required a Bachelor's Degree plus 2 years experience in the job offered.  The employer conducted recruitment for the position based upon the applications received and the recruitment failed to yield any ready, willing, qualified and available U.S. workers for the position.  As a result, the PERM case was certified by the U.S. Department of Labor.  We are now in the process of preparing a filing with U.S. CIS based upon the certified labor certification application.

A PERM Labor Certification Application filed for the position of Clinical Neurophysiologist by an employer in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area was certified by the United States Department of Labor without an audit.  The Application was filed in March 2009 indicating a processing time of 10 months.  The pre-filing recruitment efforts consisted of 2 Sunday newspaper advertisements in the Philadelphia Inquirer, a 30 day job order with Pennsylvania Careerlink, and advertisements on Careerbuilder.com, with a professional journal, and on the career section of the employer's website.  The recruitment efforts did not yield any ready, willing, qualified and available U.S. workers for the position.  The employer may now file an I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of the foreign national employee.  The PERM Labor Certification Application was for an EB-2 position and the priority date is current meaning the foreign national is eligible to simultaneously file an I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status with the I-140 Petition.
