Another PERM certified without any audit!

Last week, USCIS granted to Mr. M of Mexico a nonimmigrant visa to work for a company in the United States, as a civil engineer. The company then hired Rodriguez & Moretzsohn, PLLC, for help with the Program Electronic Review Management (PERM). PERM certification means an employer has tested the job market and the Department of Labor (DOL) agrees that there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers. When the DOL audits a PERM case, the processing time can be over a year.

In the case of our civil engineer, the DOL certified the company's PERM without any audit! The company now has a six-month deadline to petition for an immigrant visa for Mr. M.
