They say that timing is everything, and the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) ETA 9089 is no exception. The ETA 9089 is one of the most complex of all immigration forms, presenting numerous drafting challenges and obstacles for practitioners. Even if attorneys overcome the many hurdles in completing the form, timing issues can effectively tank a solid case. The expert panelists for this advanced seminar will provide best practice recommendations, addressing a variety of strategic drafting issues to spot prior to starting a case.
Featured Topics:
- What deadlines (and timelines) do I need to consider?
- Shortcuts to the PERM process
- Maximizing AC21 benefits
- Options to avoid reaching max-out dates during permanent residency processing
