Your employer or attorney has to log in to the PERM system, go to manage applications, then search for your case. Once he/she clicks on it, there is an option that says "print form." This will be in the format as required by the DOL - make sure that ORIGINAL signatures are submitted; no copies...

If you're going to file under EB2, your employer must be ready to provide a letter of business necessity stating the reasons why your position, though nor normally requiring a Master's degree according to DOL standards, does require the same because of the needs of the company, etc. The ad...

You can file for I-765 (EAD) and I-131 (AP) concurrently with your I-485 petition. After the I-485 is approved, the EAD is pointless because you are fully authorized to work - the EAD becomes invalid after the I-485 is approved. If you file for EAD after I-485 approval, they will deny the EAD.

You can go for EB3 based on 3 years of education and 3 years of experience - the alternate to the standard Bachelor's degree + 1 EB3. If you do go under EB2, your employer must be willing to meet that salary requirement after your I-485 is approved. I don't know why you wouldn't want to go for...

Notice of Filing is also called "Job Opening Notice" or "Notice of Position Opening." It must be posted for a minimum of 10 business days in a conspicuous place at the employer's place of business such as a company bulletin board or a break room or the like. It is possible that they did...

California = Chicago Processing Center New York = Atlanta Processing Center based on the "area of intended employment." http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/contacts.cfm

did you get it? most audit responses are due within 30 days, so that could be a big problem!

Personally I prefer to use the prevailing wage, mainly for the reason that the I-485 is approved, the employer has to meet the wage as stated on the petition -- AND the employer at the I-140 has to show the ability to pay the wage. So, the is the PW is offered, there is a better chance the...

Elaborate - were you IN THE US during your gap in employment? That would be the only problem I foresee. If you were overseas during your employment gaps, it's pretty much irrelevant. Good luck.

Yes, as long as you do not file a new PERM case for the same position, you can file a new case while the other is on appeal.

Re: Part-Time Experience Yes, you can use part time experience but it counts as 1/2. So, if you have 2 years of experience at 20 hours/week, that is equivalent to one full year.

I don't know what a 9088 is. The 9089 is the PERM form.

Yes, as long as the employer mentions that he will accept that experience in the PW/job bank/ads.

Where is the company's headquarters located - i.e. the place where you will be working as listed on the petition? No, there is no way you can track your status online unless your employer creates an account specifically for you on the DOL's website for you to login and check your status...

Depending on which service center it is, your attorney/employer should email the appropriate one and request a duplicate copy. The center will reply with instructions for obtaining a duplicate original in it. Chicago we usually receive in a few days. Atlanta is usually 2-3 weeks from past...

Audits are not black holes nor are they the end of the world as long as you have a good attorney and responsive company who are willing to work together to prepare the audit documentation. We've received many audits and have responded to them successfully (knock on wood.)

And by the way, don't thank Rajiv for my comments; i am in no way shape or form associated with his firm.

Your employer can indicate in the advertisements and on the PW that he will accept experience earned prior to or during your degree's coursework.
