The
Validity Period of Approved Permanent Labor Certification to File a
Form I-140 Petition |
Hi
William, My employer recently received a Permanent Labor Certification approval for me. What is the validity period of approved Permanent Labor Certification to file an immigrant petition of Form I-140? Answer, USCIS officer will determine whether the alien beneficiary meet the minimum education, training, and experience requirements of the Permanent Labor Certification at the time the petitioner filed the application for permanent labor certification with U.S. Department Of Labor (DOL). An immigrant petition of Form I-140 is not approvable if the beneficiary was not fully qualified for the classification by the filing date of the Permanent Labor Certification. The validity period for an approved individual Permanent Labor Certifications is 180 days. Petitioners have 180 calendar days after the date of the approval of the Permanent Labor Certification application by DOL within which to submit the permanent labor certification in support of an immigrant petition of Form I-140 with USCIS. USCIS will reject Form I-140 petitions that require an approved permanent labor certification if the permanent labor certification has expired, or if the Form I-140 petition is filed without the approved permanent labor certification. USCIS denies a petition without a required and valid permanent labor certification. |
