Company Description
Permit Application Process
With restricted exceptions, all EB-2 and EB-3 permit applications require that the employer get a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. For petitions requiring this action, the Labor Certification procedure is frequently the hardest and most tough action. Prior to being able to submit the Labor Certification application, the company should get a prevailing wage from the Department of Labor and show that there are no minimally certified U.S. workers offered for the positions through the completion of a competitive recruitment process.
In the case of positions that contain mentor tasks, the company must document that the selected applicant is the “finest certified” for the position. This process is frequently called “Special Handling.”
In both the “basic” and the “special handling” procedure, the employer needs to finish an official recruitment procedure to record that there are no minimally qualified U.S. employees offered or that, when it comes to positions that have a teaching element, that the picked prospect is the very best qualified. It is typical that this recruitment process must be finished well after the staff member began their position at the University.
As quickly as the Labor Certification has actually been submitted with the Department of Labor, the “top priority date” for the applicant is developed. This date is essential to determine when someone can complete step # 3, i.e. the Adjustment of Status. (If no Labor Certification is needed, the concern date is developed with the filing of the Immigrant Petition/ Form I-140.
2. Immigrant Petition
Once the Department of Labor approves the Labor Certification, the Immigrant Petition (Form I-140) can be submitted with USCIS. In cases where no Labor Certification is required (e.g. EB-1), the filing of the I-140 is the first action of the permit procedure.
3. Adjustment of Status or Obtaining an Immigrant Visa
Once the I-140 application has actually been authorized by USCIS, the foreign nationwide can use for the adjustment of their non-immigrant status (Form I-485) to that of a legal permanent citizen. Instead of looking for the Adjustment of Status, a foreign national may also look for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.
The I-485 Adjustment of Status application can not be submitted till and job unless the “priority date” is current. In practice this implies that, depending upon one’s nation of birth and EB-category, there might be a backlog. The stockpile exists due to the fact that more individuals request green cards in a provided category than there are readily available permit visa numbers. The overall number of green cards is further restricted by the fact that, with some exceptions, no more than 7 percent of all green cards in a given preference classification can go to individuals born in a given country. The backlog is upgraded every month by the U.S. Department of State and is published in the Visa Bulletin.
Once someone’s priority date date has been reached, as shown in the Visa Bulletin, the I-485 can be filed. The top priority date is the date on which the Labor job Certification was filed with the Department of Labor, or, if no Labor Certification was required, USCIS got the I-140 petition.
Note that the Visa Bulletin consists of 2 different tables with concern cut-off dates. The real cut-off dates are indicated in table A “Application Final Action Dates for Employment-based Preference Cases.” However, job in some circumstances, USCIS may accept the I-485 application if the top priority date is present based on table B “Dates for Filing of Employment-based Visa Applications.” Note that USCIS will make a decision whether Table B might be used numerous days after the main Visa Bulletin is published. USCIS releases this info on its site devoted to the Visa Bulletin.
Sometimes, it may be possible to submit the I-140 and I-485 at the very same time. This is not always suggested, even if it is possible. If the I-140 is denied, the I-485 will also be rejected if submitted simultaneously.
