3 The New olossus -Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries she With silent lips. Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

We work with the Employer and target Employee to identify in detail the target job duties and requirements and the target Employee s education, work experience, skills and abilities.

Once final, we submit the case to the U.S. Department of Labor. Petition A Petition Package is filed with the USIS. The USIS will review the Petition Package to ensure: The Employer has the financial ability to pay the offered wage at the time the case commenced (filing of labor certification). The Employee has the skills, qualifications, and experience necessary to perform the job. W A I T I N G P E R I O D Adjustment of Status/onsular An Application Package is filed with the USIS.

19 Alien Labor ertification The purpose of the alien employment certification process is to protect the U.S. workforce Will be issued only if the DOL determines there is an insufficient supply of available, willing and qualified U.S. Workers for the particular job involved
20 Required Recruitment For PERM For all job positions other than Special Handling Internal posting for ten consecutive business days Place job order with state employment agency for 30 days Use of any and all in-house media (intranet, internal postings, etc.) Two print advertisements (Sundays) in the newspaper of general circulation for area of employment.
21 Additional Required Recruitment If the job is for a professional job (one which requires at least a bachelor s degree or higher), must undertake three additional recruitment steps from a list of ten approved by the DOL: Job fairs Employer s Website Job search website On-campus recruiting Trade/professional organization Employee referral program ampus placement office Local or ethnic newspapers Private employment firms Radio/television ads
22 Special Handling Rules for ollege and University Teachers Teachers: ollege and university teachers have the benefit of special handling rules. Under the special handling rules, teachers enjoy a more lenient selection standard than all other occupations ( best qualified versus no qualified U.S. workers ). The case must be filed within 18 months from the date the individual was selected. Generally you may consider the date of the offer letter as the selection date. Schools should consider a notice provision on the 18 month rule. The process does require one national print or on-line advertisement.
23 Required Recruitment For PERM Special Handling ases ases involving post-secondary teachers are considered Special Handling cases. The recruitment required for Special Handling cases is as follows: Internal posting for ten consecutive business days A single print or on-line ad in a national journal or publication relevant to the field
24 an I Avoid Labor ertification? Only a small number of employment-based immigration cases can avoid the labor certification requirement: Extraordinary Ability Petition Outstanding Researcher/Professor Petition Multi-National Manager/Executive National Interest Waiver Petition
25 Extraordinary Ability Self-Petition No Job Offer/Labor ertification Required Extraordinary Ability means a level of expertise indicating that the individual is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor
26 Extraordinary Ability Proof Sustained national or international acclaim and evidence that his or her achievements have been recognized in the field of expertise. Major internationally recognized award OR At least three other items
27 Extraordinary Ability Other Proof Lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes/awards Membership in associations which require outstanding achievements Published material about the applicant Applicant s participation as the judge of others Original scientific, scholarly, etc., contributions of major significance Authorship of scholarly articles Display of work Performed in leading or critical roles in organizations with distinguished reputation High salary in relation to others in the field ommercial successes Other comparable evidence
28 Outstanding Researcher/Professor Employer Sponsored Job Offer Required/No Labor ertification Permanent, in reference to a research position, means either: (1) tenured; (2) tenure-track; or (3) for a term of indefinite or unlimited duration, and in which the employee will ordinarily have an expectation of continued employment, unless there is good cause for termination
29 Outstanding ontinued Requires evidence that the R/P is recognized internationally as outstanding in the academic field At least three years experience in teaching or research Evidence shall consist of at least two of the following: Receipt of major prizes or awards Membership in associations which require outstanding achievements Published materials about the researcher Researcher sits as the judge of others Original scientific or scholarly research contributions to the academic field Authorship of scholarly books or articles
30 Multi-National Manager/Executive Employee must have worked for foreign affiliate for at least one year in managerial or executive position Employee must be working for the U.S. affiliate in a managerial or executive position
31 Advanced Degree/Exceptional Ability Generally requires job offer and labor certification Becomes a Self-Petition if filed as a National Interest Waiver case Master s Degree = Advanced Degree Default to Advanced Degree (v. Exceptional Ability) Be very careful with 3 year Bachelor Degrees!
32 National Interest Waiver Does the applicant seek employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit? Will the proposed benefit be national in scope? Will the significant benefit derived from the individual s participation in the field of endeavor considerably outweigh the inherent national interest in protecting U.S. workers through the labor certification process?
33 BEYOND GREEN ARD: PRESERVING STATUS AND U.S. ITIZENSHIP
34 Preserving Resident Status Once in resident status, a resident must be proactive about preserving the status. Resident status can be lost or abandoned by certain actions or inactions. For example, a resident can be removed from the United Status following conviction of certain crimes. For example, resident status can be abandoned if the resident remains outside the U.S. for too long and/or otherwise fails to maintain indicia of resident status. e.g. the resident takes a research position with a research firm abroad an remains out of the U.S. for 18 months without taking any proactive steps to preserve status. Generally, a single trip outside the U.S. of 1 year or more creates a presumption of abandonment.
35 U.S. itizenship From a timing perspective a resident, who gained resident status through employment, will be eligible to apply for citizenship once a resident for five years if: During the five year period before filing, the resident had no single trip outside the U.S. of 180 days or more; AND During the five year period before filing, the resident spent at least ½ of his or her time physically in the U.S. There are other eligibility requirements and restrictions for citizenship, e.g. good moral character, lack of certain criminal convictions, etc.
