Company Description
Permit Application Process
With limited exceptions, all EB-2 and EB-3 green card applications need that the company get a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. For petitions needing this action, the Labor Certification process is frequently the hardest and most difficult action. Prior to being able to file the Labor Certification application, the employer needs to get a prevailing wage from the Department of Labor and show that there are no minimally certified U.S. workers offered for the positions through the completion of a competitive recruitment procedure.
When it comes to positions that consist of mentor duties, the company needs to document that the picked candidate is the “finest certified” for the position. This process is typically called “Special Handling.”
In both the “standard” and the “special handling” procedure, the employer must complete a formal recruitment procedure to record that there are no minimally qualified U.S. employees offered or that, when it comes to positions that have a mentor part, that the selected prospect is the very best certified. It prevails that this recruitment procedure should be finished well after the foreign national staff member began their at the University.
As quickly as the Labor Certification has been filed with the Department of Labor, the “priority date” for the candidate is established. This date is important to figure out when someone can complete action # 3, i.e. the Adjustment of Status. (If no Labor Certification is required, the priority date is developed with the filing of the Immigrant Petition/ Form I-140.
2. Immigrant Petition
Once the Department of Labor authorizes the Labor Certification, the Immigrant Petition (Form I-140) can be filed with USCIS. In cases where no Labor Certification is required (e.g. EB-1), the filing of the I-140 is the initial step of the green card process.
3. Adjustment of Status or Obtaining an Immigrant Visa
Once the I-140 application has been approved by USCIS, job the foreign nationwide can get the change of their non-immigrant status (Form I-485) to that of a legal permanent citizen. Instead of applying for the Adjustment of Status, a foreign national might also make an application for job an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.
The I-485 Adjustment of Status application can not be filed until and unless the “priority date” is existing. In practice this indicates that, depending on one’s country of birth and EB-category, there may be a backlog. The backlog exists due to the fact that more people obtain permits in an offered classification than there are readily available green card visa numbers. The total number of green cards is additional limited by the fact that, with some exceptions, no more than 7 percent of all permits in a provided choice category can go to people born in an offered country. The backlog is updated monthly by the U.S. Department of State and is released in the Visa Bulletin.
Once someone’s top priority date date has actually been reached, as indicated in the Visa Bulletin, the I-485 can be filed. The top priority date is the date on which the Labor Certification was submitted with the Department of Labor, or, if no Labor Certification was required, job USCIS got the I-140 petition.
Note that the Visa Bulletin contains two separate tables with top priority cut-off dates. The actual cut-off dates are indicated in table A “Application Final Action Dates for Employment-based Preference Cases.” However, in some circumstances, USCIS might accept the I-485 application if the priority date is present based upon table B “Dates for Filing of Employment-based Visa Applications.” Note that USCIS will make a decision whether Table B may be used several days after the main Visa Bulletin is released. USCIS publishes this information on its site committed to the Visa Bulletin.
In many cases, it may be possible to submit the I-140 and I-485 at the exact same time. This is not constantly suggested, even if it is possible. If the I-140 is rejected, the I-485 will also be denied if submitted concurrently.
