Success Stories: PERM for an Operations Director Approved
This client with our immigration law firm has a tower crane service company and needed to fill the position of operations director. There are not many people in the world who qualify for this position where safety is at stake. Therefore, the employer was willing to go through a PERM process to advertise the position in the Sunday newspaper, at a job fair, on the employer website, and at the job search site according to strict regulations. The employer received over 200 applications, but no applicant was willing, able, qualified, and ready to take the job.
We submitted the application for permanent employment certification to the US Department of Labor. Originally, the US Department of Labor erroneously concluded that one applicant met the qualification requirements, but we showed that that applicant had no connection to the US and was not a US worker who this process is designed to protect. The application was certified and we can now file the petition and green card application to complete the green card process through an employer.
Please note that this article does not constitute legal advice. We simplified the law to show a case study about one aspect of the EB-3 process, the green card process through employment. If you would like to discuss if you qualify for an EB-3 green card based on your employment, schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration lawyer in Scottsdale, AZ, or call the Juras Law Firm, PLC office at 480-425-2009!
