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.

FAQs: Experience & education requirements for a PERM/labor certification-based green card || Continuing work or reverting to STEM OPT during H-1B Change of Status || For PERM, can I use my master's degree completed after I joined?
1. How often does it happen that an employment-based green card gets rejected or delayed just because the minimum job requirements were low?
2. What could be decent experience & education requirements for a job to successfully get an employment-based green card.
3. My current employer is filing my green card with minimum requirements of a bachelor's and 1~2 years of experience, but my current qualifications are a master's and 2~3 years of experience. So, is it worth finding a new job and employer where my green card can be filed based on my current higher qualifications?
1. It will get rejected not because the requirements were low, but because the requirements were so basic that there were many applications for it.
2. It depends upon the job. Difficult to answer this.
3. Here again the question is not so much what your qualifications are but what the job requires.

My master's degree was officially completed after joining my current company, but I had already earned 54 out of 57 total credits of my master's degree before joining this company. So, can I use this master's degree to satisfy job requirements for my GC sponsored by this company?
The answer is probably not for the same job for which you were hired. You cannot use your master's degree that you obtained after you joined as a software developer, but you could certainly use it for the next higher job.

"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
