Once the Applicaton for Permanent Labor Certification has been approved, the U.S. company has to file an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker for the beneficiary. The filing is done with form I-140. The date on which the U.S. company filed the PERM is the “priority date” for the beneficiary. Each month the U.S. Department of State publishes the Visa Bulletin which shows what the priority date for the certain immigrant visa is. When the priority date becomes current, the U.S. company can file form I-140. Along with the form, the U.S. company needs to submit supporting documents to show ability to pay the prevailing wage for the beneficiary. Additionally, the U.S. company needs to submit supporting documents showing that beneficiary meets all the requirements for the jot.
