The DOL has a special email designated for PERM Account set-up queries. From my experience, the DOL will either A.) issue a username and password within 48 hours of sign-up; or B.) they will audit the company's existence and ask for documentation such as FEIN documentation, tax returns...

The employer has no obligation to provide you with a login ID to check your status. The only way (currently) to check a status is to have a sub-account under your employer's main account on the PERM ETA that is setup by your employer. If you don't have this, you can't check your status. When...

I'm sorry but I actually had to laugh at this. September 2008 and you are complaining? We have cases pending since November 2007!! The DOL issued a statement last month indicating they are currently processing August 2007 cases under audit, and cases filed in June 2008 under final review...

The only designated EB2 position by the DOL is the CIS Mananger position; but, I have heard of Software Engineer positions being filed under EB2 and going through.

That sucks. No other way of saying it -- very sorry to hear that.

DOL indicated in their statement last month that they are processing audited cases initially filed in August 2007. We have several from 11/07 to present as well. Sit tight, we are all eagerly awaiting.

The regs state you must have a US Master's equivalent in order to file under EB2. Please see the many, many other posts in this forum addressing this issue. You do NOT qualify for EB2. You have to have either a US Master's equivalent (6 years of post-high school education in the form of a...

This is my favorite response of all time. If there was a way to give you props, I would do it right now. A+++++!!

The SOC/OES code is determined by the SWA (State Workforce Agency) in the Prevailing Wage Determination. The decision of the state is the one that counts, regardless of your opinion of what SOC code should be designated to you. The employer/lawyer can argue with the state's decision but it is...

The SOC/OES code is determined by the State Workforce Agency when the prevailing wage request is submitted. Even our law firm does not always agree with their decision, but ultimately, it is the decision of the SWA to categorize the position based on their requirements. Their decision is the...

The requirement in section H will state the minimum degree is a Master's; or, it will require a Bachelor's degree and 5 years of experience. Different attorneys draft it differently. Why are you getting all upset with your attorneys saying that they are 'claiming' things when you don't know...

You do not qualify for EB2. For EB2 processing, the regs state you can NOT use a combination of degrees equal to a Bachelor to qualify for the B+5 requirement. To qualify for EB2 under a Master's degree, you need to have 6 years of post-high-school education evaluated as equivalent to a US...

CIS Manager is the only officially recognized EB2 title.

Neither are considered to be faster than the other. We always recommend I-485 processing simply for the fact that with I-485 you can actually track your petition on the USCIS website whereas with the CP you have to simply wait for the NVC to send you packages in the mail, and if for whatever...

The priority date is the only important one of all the three. Keep this date in your mind at all times, as all of your subsequent positions and processing times are based on it.

You need to ensure to demonstrate a good-faith recruitment effort. We usually say a minimum of 16 days or so, but try to do 30 (plus holidays) recruitment efforts for each additional effort if at all possible.

You should contact a lawyer regarding this query as it is a highly legal question.

You need to look at this the correct way. The purpose of the GC is to prove to the government that there are no available, able, or willing US workers for the position and that's why they are hiring you. If there ARE US workers who can fill the position, then as the other poster mentioned, the...

Your friend is not correct. There is no premium or expedited processing available for processing a PERM petition.

Your PERM/I-140 are not portable to another company since the petitions are based on the POSITION at the company and not based on the alien. The only way you can port it is if you get an approved I-140 from your current company, and they agree not to withdraw it. Then, you would need to apply...
