Comment
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,
PERM Through Relative Owned or Controlled Company
Question details
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.
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.
