Successful response to an audit of a submitted ETA Form 9089 (PERM)

3 years ago By Chief Editor

We assisted a client company in filing an EB-2-based PERM. The submitted ETA Form 9089 was selected for an audit by DOL. They requested evidence/explanation as to why only the specified combination of a higher degree and significant years of experience were required, beyond the normal requirements defined by O*Net, a source of occupational data often cited by the government.

Comment

I am not just happy with the way the law firm of Atty. Rajiv took care of my case. I am more than satisfied that no adjective is deserving enough to describe the way they handled an impossible case like mine. After countless denials that I have received from my previous lawyers, I only got approvals from Atty. Rajiv. My family and I are just waiting for our greencards, which might come before the end of this year. This law firm deserves more than what they ask for their fees. And no monetary compensation could ever pay nor match the excellent job they have done for me. They saved my children's future, the primary reason why I want to be in America. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart! :)

EB2 Approval for Physical Therapist

12 years ago By Rajiv S. Khanna

We have recently received an EB2 approval for a Physical Therapist. EB2 classification has become especially important now that EB3 category cases for severely backlogged countries are delayed so much. The good news with PT’s is that they do not have to go through the PERM process. But the bad news is that USCIS seems to question whether or not truly a Master’s degree or BS+5 years level job is being offered. The I-140 approval took 1.5 months in regular processing.

Rajiv has been of incredible help to me for the last few years. I'd applied for the 485 Adjustment of Status and it looked like I'd be stuck in the queue for years before my greencard arrived. So, as I thought about my career, I decided to go back to school for a Ph.D. However, I was told by most everyone that getting an F-1 visa to go back to school would be very difficult. Rajiv gave me excellent advice to still go ahead and apply for the F-1 -- I ended up getting it with no trouble whatsoever. As the years went by, I then ended up getting the greencard as well -- Rajiv has been really helpful in letting me know the specific requirements (in terms of the job classifications, travel etc) related to obtaining permanent residency. I have been following his advice and I have been really pleased -- he's been absolutely accurate in all of his advice and I'm certainly counting on him in times to come as well.

No more Immigrant Visas for China and India EB2 this year

12 years ago By Rajiv S. Khanna

State Department has indicated that as of 11 April 2012 there are no more immigrant visas (green cards) available for China and India-born EB2 applicants. The numbers will be reset on 1 October 2012, the start of the new fiscal year. In the meantime, USCIS will continue to accept I-485 filings until the end of June based upon the Visa Bulletin that will be published in May. No action will be taken on these applications until October, but its is expected that EAD/AP's will be issued.
