PERM Applied on 02/23

Hi All

My HR sent me an e-mail that my PERM LC has been filed on 02/23 and the status is Sponsorship. I am not yet sure if it was filed as Eb-2 or EB-3.

Can some one please tell me the different status possible in the PERM process?
Is there any other means to check status apart from the PERM account login created by employer. Generally the employer and attorney are reluctant in giving login details.
 
Perm status

Got it from google.

Sponsorship means the employer will receive an email from the DOL asking 4 questions. The email will direct the employer to a link to answer 4 questions:


Are you, or do you work for, the employer referenced above?

Are you aware that an Application for Permanent Employment Certification was filed on your behalf?

Do you have an opening for JOB TITLE in CITY, STATE?

Are you sponsoring FOREIGN WORKER for this position?


The employer should check YES to the above questions then click submit.

Audit Review means the PERM Center analyst has some questions about the information in the application and will be sending the employer a letter asking for an explanation.

The employer will receive the Audit Letter from the PERM Processing Center.

The employer should follow the instructions in answering the Audit Letter and return it to the DOL.

In Process means that they are still working on the case (or rather they are not working on it and it is just sitting in the system)

Best of Luck
 
segio 01...if the email address is wrong, then your app is going to get rejected. This means that an email was sent to the wrong email address. And unless that email address existed and replied yes to all questions, you should withraw your app and file afresh with the correct email address.

The status should really never be in sponsorship. Within minutes of filing your app, your HR should receive the sponsorship questionnaire and one they reply, the app should go into "In Process". So check the email address on your ap for your HR contact and hve your HR contact check his/her inbox for the DOL email.

SWA response is always delayed (so what's new). If your attorney is rasonably confident that the wage offered in your job posting is going to be higher than the one that SWA determines, then you can file the advertisement at any time. However, if the SWA comes back with a higher suggested wage, you will need to file the advertisements again.
 
My PERM got denied

Hi,
My PERM got denied 2 weeks back and my employer didn't get any reason or information about that. Its been 3 weeks now and we coundn't get exact reason to appeal. Is there any way to get the reason for denial? What could be the problem for not getting the reason in DOL site and email.

Thanks

You should receive a formal denial letter from DOL explaining the reason for the denial. ONce your attorney receives it, have him call up the certifying officer who has signed the denial and clarify with him/her if he has any questions. Based on the reason and the feedback, it would be advisable to refile and not appeal the denial
 
creative10: HR already received a hardcopy letter saying that the case has been certified. The incorrect email address belonged to HR but it is outdated and no longer working.

Congrats!!!

What is her wage level? Is it Leve II ?

Is O*NET code 15-1031.00 for her occupation?

What did she answer for Question H-12? (Are the minimum job requirements "normal" for the occupation?)

Thanks!
 
Finally

Hi,

My perm got approved. I don't know the exact date but they got the certified copy yesterday.

Attached is the latest sheet with information. Feb has been a good month.
 
Status Check of PERM Filing?

Hello - I want to know how can you check the status of a filed application in PERM?

Is there a URL that someone could please fwd me.

Thanks
 
Hi

Thanks longwaitstate and creative10 for your inputs.
My PERM status has changed to In-process. It has been filed as EB-2 (MS or BS+2 in Industrial Engg). for a Job Title as 'Systems Analyst' with proficiency in Advanced Supply Chain Planning. It was filed on 02/23 and changed to In-process on 02/24. My company HR has mentioned that they will not create a PERM sub-account for me, and I can check status through them...Maybe most of the employers taking such a restrictive stance.

Thanks again for your inputs..and Hope there is much more greenery seen on the tracker sheet....Pls update my details as well on the tracker...

regards
