CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)

 APPLICANT: Filipino

 LOCATION: Erie, PA

Our client is a family physician from the Philippines, who is currently working at a hospital which was willing to petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140).  Our client has an M.D. degree and is licensed physician in the state of Pennsylvania. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States.  After talking to our client, our firm concluded that his potential employer can petition him as a Family Medicine Physician. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for an EB-2 classification for his I-140 petition.

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 foreign degree evaluation report, our office filed the job order on November 16, 2011.  On May 10, 2012, we promptly filed PERM.  Eventually, on July 17, 2012, a little after two months from filing, the PERM Labor Certification was approved – an EB2 position for the Filipino beneficiary.

We then proceeded with the I-140 Petition filing.  We submitted the “ability to pay” letter for the I-140 petition application.  We included the job offer letter, state physician license, our client’s M.D. degree, and other necessary supporting documents.

The I-140 Petition was filed on September 11, 2012 via regular processing service.  On May 3, 2013, the I-140 EB2 Petition for our Filipino client was approved.

Once the I-140 petition was approved, our client retained our office again for his I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on October 18, 2013. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.

Eventually, on March 3, 2014, the USCIS Texas Service Center approved our client’s adjustment of status application. He is now a green card holder.

CASE: PERM Labor Certification
EMPLOYER: Electric Immersion Heater Manufacturer
BENEFICIARY: Indian Management Analyst
LOCATION: Cleveland Ohio

The beneficiary is a management analyst from India, who is currently working at an electric immersion heater manufacturing company in Cleveland Ohio. The company / petitioner was willing to petition him for a green card, in the second-preference category (EB2).  Our client has an MBA degree and has worked for this company since April 2012. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States.  After talking to our client, our firm advised that his potential employer can petition him as a Management Analyst. It is a Job Zone 4 position, which typically does not merit an EB2 finding by the Department of Labor, but we thought the position was complex enough to merit an argument. Based on our client’s educational, professional and working background as an engineer and management analyst, our office determined that he is clearly eligible for the EB-2 classification for his I-140 petition.

Prior to filing the PERM labor certification application, 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 Labor Certification 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.  On June 29, 2012, we filed the PERM labor certification application. Two months later, on August 30, 2012, the PERM labor certification was approved – an EB2 position for a Job Zone 4 Position – Management Analyst – without an audit!
