We represented an IT consulting company and a Technical Project Lead employed by them. The PERM was selected for supervised recruitment. USDOL denied certification, alleging that the employer rejected a potentially qualified U.S.
We represented a technology consulting services corporation and a Senior Programmer Analyst employed by the firm.
We represented a consulting company and their employee, a Senior Quality Assurance Analyst. USDOL had denied PERM certification after an audit holding that we had failed to submit tear sheets from our Sunday advertisements. We filed the appropriate motion establishing that it was highly likely, if not certain, that the tear sheets were in fact submitted. We provided evidence from our files, affidavits, and proof of our firm’s normal business practice.The case was approved in less than three weeks.
