1. Convenient Link to Corporate Entity Database
You can now conveniently link to the Corporate Entity Database through USADWEB.com. Occasionally, when a case is submitted to USCIS, the DOL fails to recognize the company name as listed on the forms. The Corporate Entity Database allows you to confirm the existence of corporations around the country. You can then present this documentation to the DOL to help prove the legitimacy of the company that is sponsoring the alien. Visit the Links section of USADWEB.com to link to the database.
2. Improved Campus Placement Recruitment Methods
For years, USADWEB has provided campus placements as an additional method of recruitment for PERM applications. We will endeavor to place your advertisement in a school that offers the educational background necessary for the recruitment advertising.
USADWEB can post your campus placement directly with the Campus Career Center at various schools. This allows employers to have an individualized account with a specific school. Features of this method vary by school. Jobs can be posted for an unlimited period of time and can include a company description. This method may also allow direct access to students and alumni of that particular school.
Additionally, USADWEB can post with MonsterTrak, an online college recruitment source that reaches many college campuses. Schools that subscribe to the service provide their students with the ability to access jobs targeted towards their school. The site is designed to link employers with current students. Jobs can be posted from 1 to 30 days, can be filtered by school, and can be grouped by industry as well as education classification. Please note that some campus centers post directly through MonsterTrak.
If you would like additional information on campus recruitment, or would like to request a campus placement, please contact your ad representative.
3. Mid-Atlantic Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD)
USADWEB will be running a monthly feature in the NewsBlast highlighting information regarding Prevailing Wage requests in specific states. In the previous issue, we focused on Maryland. Here are some helpful hints for PWD submissions in other Mid-Atlantic States:
Washington D.C. uses a fax form, and their current processing times are 3-5 business days. If the employer wishes to dispute the PWD, they must contact the Philadelphia regional office of the DOL to appeal.
Delaware allows for both fax and email submission, but may take up to 14 business days to have a determination. DE expects all fields of their form to be filled out, including writing the word “none” where applicable. In case of disagreement, you may resubmit. They will accept a reasonable argument with a justification.
Pennsylvania asks that no abbreviations or acronyms be used. They ask that you allow up to 30 days to process the information, but are currently completing them within about 3 business days. Preferred submission is via fax, and PA allows you to attach a job description. Appeals that are accompanied with a justification may be accepted. Actual work location of the position is critical for obtaining a correct PWD.
New Jersey also uses a fax form, but requests that all information submitted be written on their actual form. They do not accept attachments. Include a complete description for expedited processing. NJ says to allow up to 14 days for processing, especially during temporary peak load determination processing. Currently, requests are being completed within 10 business days.
As always, we believe it is best to fill out forms as completely as possible. The more complete your form is, the better off you’ll be!
