BALCA Appeal Leads to Voluntary PERM Certification by CO
In a case decided yesterday, we had filed an appeal to BALCA against a PERM denial by the Certifying Officer (“CO”). The ground for denial was that the Job Order did not provide the exact salary offered to the foreign worker. We showed in our appeal that the fault lay with the Job Order form of the State Workforce Agency. The form did not permit us to enter the higher end of the wage range for our job, where we had offered a wage range instead of an exact figure. The CO appears to have agreed with us and has withdrawn denial and certified our case.
I want to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna and his team for taking care for my perm application and getting it done very professionally. I was in a bad situation were my previous perm was denied due to grave mistakes committed by previous lawyer. This is a huge relief for me and am very hopefull that further processes will be smooth as well. thanks, Sanjeev
