Filing multiple PERM applications, PERM Recruitment period, and Processing Times for PWD (Prevailing Wage Determination)
Question details
Can we file two PERM simultaneously, one for the current job level and one for the future promoted level? My employer filed my green card based on my master's degree and no experience as a job requirement. So, what are the chances it will pass recruitment during PERM, keeping the current recession in mind?
FAQ Transcript
Technically, you can apply for two jobs like this because they are two different jobs. Definitely when there are specific skill requirements the chances of success are a lot better.
