I assume by higher position, you are wanting to go from an EB3 position to an EB2 position. First, your attorney would need to determine if you qualify based on your education and experience history. Then, it would be wise to have your employer file a new H1 petition under your new promotion...

You cannot combine degrees to equal a bachelor's degree. You can however have a requirement of a bachelor's degree plus 1 year of experience with the alternate of 3 years of education and 3 years of related experience. The educational evaluation of a bachelor's degree is only the evaluator's...

You can only file for an extension beyond your sixth year based on a.) a labor certification pending for at least one year, or b.) an approved I-140. You can't extend past your 6th year based on a pending I-140. You can only retrieve the old priority date if the I-140 is approved and your...

That information is completely incorrect.

The attorney/employer is not required to provide you with any documentation as these are company-based petitions (i.e. the company sponsors them.) Most attorneys provide the employer with the documentation, so you should request it from your company HR, or have your company HR request it from...

There are very few reasons I can think of why you would need to have the original document. The employer nor the attorney are required to provide you with those documents as they are company-based petitions. Copies should be sufficient for your purposes. If the employer/attorney agree to give...

We had a situation like this early in the PERM section. We had the client cross off the incorrect country with a single line, initial next to it, and write the correct country. We also mentioned the error on the cover letter, and put a sticky note on the page where the correction was made...

big boy's right... if it is acquired fully by another company, you may be OK, but if the company goes under or out of business, you would need to start over.

under which section of 245i are you saying that you qualify?

The spouse's name is not mentioned on the PERM petition anywhere. The spouse is mentioned on the I-140 petition, but no documentation is required for him/her. The spouse files a derivative petition only at the I-485 level.

There is an option on the PERM petition called "employer conducted," but I really know nothing about it. What state has the PWR been filed in? Some states get back to you within a day while others may take a few months.

That sample you found is fine. The Chicago Processing Center is no longer processing new applications, so the Atlanta address should be mentioned.

Why would you go with the largest immigration firm in the world for your first case? I've heard they over-charge (up to 4x what we charge) and under-communicate, but I have never used them, so I could not confirm this. Also the audit thing would be a worry, but on the other hand, if you do an...

You can use related experience to count towards the required experience for the position. Just make sure you have extremely strong letters to support your employment history, and make sure your letters match your H-1B petition titles if your employment was in the USA.

The online company website should not mention the LC. For the "Notice of Job Opening," that should have that text in it, yes, and should be posted internally in a public area for a minimum of 10 business days. The company website we usually do for a month or a minimum of 15 days.

Does your section J. show that you have a Master's degree? Was your complete 5+ years of experience listed in your section K. work experience?
