Successful response to an audit of a submitted ETA Form 9089 (PERM)

We assisted a client company in filing an EB-2-based PERM. The submitted ETA Form 9089 was selected for an audit by DOL. They requested evidence/explanation as to why only the specified combination of a higher degree and significant years of experience were required, beyond the normal requirements defined by O*Net, a source of occupational data often cited by the government. Our response included a significant amount of documentation and an extensive and detailed support letter presenting the case and context as to why the specifics of this particular employer’s product and the beneficiary’s role required a relatively high and indispensable level of both education and experience. The ETA 9089 was then certified.
