Can you let us know from which state have you received level 1 wage for MS+1yr job requirement? Also if possible your job position? My comment on your question: Job zone 4 means SVP of 7-8 which translates to SVP of 2-4 years. When you ask for MS+1 yr requirement it translates to 5 years of...

We have applied mine with the CA SWA on 15th March. It will be over a month this week, have not received the PW yet!

Yes as per the guidelines given in the chart to determine the prevailing wage, MS with 2 years requirement for a position in job zone 4 with education and training code 5 is LEVEL 3.

not received PW yet! We have submitted my PW request about a month ago in CA for MS+2yrs requirement for Electrical Engineer, however have not received a reply yet. In how many days did you guys get a reply from EDD/SWA?

Thanks wildscenebob, this is exactly what I wanted to confirm. My lawyer was unaware of this under PERM. Business necessity seems inevitable. Just out of curiosity, if my position was in job zone 5 [SVP 8.0 or above, 4-10 years), in that case MS+2years requirement would translate to 6 years...

My position has been classified by ONET as Job zone 4 i.e SVP of 7-8 i.e. 2-4 years. The education code is 5 i.e. minimum BS required. We are asking for MS+2 years requirement. We know that we will have to justify the MS as business necessity for minimum education requirements. Now from...

ANSWER: Yes that's right. Well explained xg121960. And for all such positions whose requirements are above the minimum requirements of O*NET we have to answer question H-12 as "NO" which is definitely triggering an audit!

ANSWER: Find one which falls in Job zone 5 and coincides with your position. Positions with job zone 4 dont qualify for EB-2 under PERM unless business necessity is approved.

ANSWER: My lawyer speculates it will be 2. I can let you know when SWA gets back to us. What have you heard from other people with MS requirements?

No reply from SWA with PW level as yet ANSWER: I think my first post was a bit confusing. We have submitted the prevailing wage form to the SWA exactly 3 weeks ago. SWA has not got back to us as yet. We have asked for MS with 2 yrs exp. The reason I said we are okay with the prevailing...

Not my opinion, it is my attorney's view. We are filing PERM for engineering as well as software positions in my company, and that was his comment on it.

ANSWER: Yes if the software position is in Job zone 4, it NEEDS a business necessity, even if you have 20 years of experience. Infact its a bigger problem for software positions as compared to Engineering positions for justifying business needs. However if your senior position comes in job...

EB-2 for engineers Thank you all for your inputs above. I cross-checked with two different attorneys on this and following is what they have to say. Its true that under PERM all engineering positions will be considered under EB3 category since they come under job zone 4. However the only way...

My employer has advertised my position as needing a minimum of MS with 2 years of experience. I have a MS in Electrical Engineering along with 2 years experience. We are okay with the prevailing wage too. But now I find out that since the position "Electrical Engineer" like most other...
