Hello folks.
After working for my employer for 1.5 years as a Sr. Software Engineer, they finally decided to go for my PERM. It is becoming very hard to get approved for DOL because of the current economic situation and filling out the paperwork correctly in the first place is critical.
I have some questions regarding the alien information completion of the ETA 9089. I am working with the attorney to let me verify all the forms that will be submitted to make sure that the information is right and there are some tricky, ambiguous questions in the form. Therefore, I would really appreciate any feedback from you. Thanks.
17. Did the alien complete the training required for the requested job opportunity,
as indicated in question H.5?
-Not sure what the answer should be. But by answering 'No' may trigger a flag or render me 'unqualified' for this position in the eyes of DOL? Does it imply previous training completed prior to hiring by the current employer?
18. Does the alien have the experience as required for the requested job
opportunity indicated in question H.6?
-Yes.
19. Does the alien possess the alternate combination of education and experience
as indicated in question H.8?
-Yes.
20. Does the alien have the experience in an alternate occupation specified in
question H.10?
-Yes.
21. Did the alien gain any of the qualifying experience with the employer in a
position substantially comparable to the job opportunity requested?
-Yes. Not really sure whether it applies to my case, but I worked for the same employer as a contractor for the first 8 months and used 60% of the same tools.
22. Did the employer pay for any of the alien’s education or training
necessary to satisfy any of the employer’s job requirements for this position?
-Not sure what the answer should be. There was no formal training or education in this job with the current employer, except for paid conference once and short training sessions.
23. Is the alien currently employed by the petitioning employer?
-Yes.
