I got the PERM application approved in 10/06/2010 and I applied on August 2nd week. It is really great to work with Rajiv Khanna & Mathew and they will guide us to the right way so that no mistakes are made in the complete process. I really feel that I am in good hands!
The Department has posted new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) addressing employer point of contact requirements. To view PERM Round 12 FAQs, please check attachment.
According to DOL updates as of 9/30/2010, they are working on PERM application filed in the following months.
My H-1B visa extension and my children's H-4 too were denied due to my two former lawyers' lack of expertise on immigration matters.Then, my Labor certification was denied too. Two of my children eventually had to go home when they reached 21 because of this. I thought my youngest son and I were going to go home too,until my employer contacted Atty Khanna and his associates.They are the best because they were able to fix ad refile everything. We recently received our green card. Everything they did was so organized and very meticulous, making no mistakes.I would highly recommend them to anyone.
My company said they filed the PERM application on June 30th. I asked them to send the status a month ago. The sent me a message saying that it has Prepared status in the application and the overall status as in process. Is it how it looks?
When we check status of electronically filed applications, it should say "In Process" when it is pending. That should be sufficient.
My PERM application just got denied due to the recent layoff in my company. Can I apply EB2 (schedule A) to bypass the labor certification step? Will the recent PERM denial affect the Schedule A application? Is it ok to submit the schedule A application soon or I have to wait for a certain time period?
If you are qualified, you can apply for Schedule A. I cannot think of any way the PERM denial or layoffs could cause any issues and there should be no waiting to file.
Vijay Durgham guided us with the labor certification process very professionally. Though our organization was new to the process, he showed a lot of patience and expertise in successfully completing this for us.
There have been many instances where his colleagues have assisted me in matters not quite related to this process either.
A big thanks to him and his team.
Good job by Vijay Durgam! The labor was certification was pretty quick. Just took us about 2 months to get certified. We had an extremely busy schedule when we applied for the LC and did not have enough time to go over the paper work and other stuff.
Vijay thoroughly prepared the documentation and provided us with just the right information we needed.
Thanks,
Can a PERM case be filed through a company that is owned or controlled by a relative of the beneficiary?
The answer is yes, BUT, the case is likely to be very closely scrutinized and may even require supervised recruitment. That means, USDOL will most likely ask us to place advertisements again under their direct supervision. So, we could end up repeating the advertising. This could cause delays (and of course even denial).
This question had come up a few weeks earlier also. I wanted to clarify this with the USDOL so we wrote to them. Our letter and their response is attached.
"When I join Rajiv Khanna and speak to Amrita about green card process somehow i got feeling that I am in good hand for green card". It is really nice to work with Rajiv Khanna's Law Office and people who works there. Specially Amrita whom I am working with my green card process. She gives really good response, explanation on the phone and email and give enough time to discuss questions and issues that I have. She does conference with Rajiv Khanna when needed for discussion. I have got my PERM approved in this process. It is really nice experience while working with them. They go through case very deeply and discuss pros and cons with us so you get better picture. Thanks for all you do Vishalkumar Patel
