Hi,
An interesting and slightly unusual question here, kindly let me know your thoughts:
I am an employer: I own all shares of a small private corporation in the USA.
Two years ago I bought the entire business (all the shares) from Person A, who founded the company 9 years ago and ran it for seven years.
Person A is entirely not-involved in the company in any way, for two years now.
Can my company do a PERM process now seeking to employ the Brother of Person A?
Neither Person A, nor his brother, are employees today; and are not involved in the company at all.
Question C-9 on the Form ETA-9089 (PERM Application) asks whether the alien (the candidate) has family relations to the shareholders / officers of the sponsoring corporation; this question requires Yes/No answer. At present, the answer is No. I am wondering if the Past family relation is relevant at all, or if it should be "disclosed" in some way in the PERM application.
My immigration lawyer says that the question asks about the Present only, and requires a Yes/No question -- and thus all is good. I wanted to ask if this is what other employers (or candidates) also think, or experienced in other PERM applications that succeeded or failed.
Thank you in advance.
