Client: A Dental Clinic in Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio
Client’s Country of Origin: South Korea
Case Type: H-1B Status (I-29 Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker, H Category)
Date of Application: June 12, 2006
Date of I-360 Approval: June 21, 2006

Background:
Our client, the employer, retained Herman Legal Group’s immigration lawyers in Cleveland to secure status for its newly hired dentist to meet the demand for its services.

Challenge:
As much as H-1B applications appear to be run-of-the-mill cases, clients really have to be sure that their choice employee meets all criteria prescribed in law. In addition, labor certification must be completed prior to filing the H-1B application through form I-129; otherwise, there is no proof that the chosen candidate would meet the minimum expectation of the job and the criteria in the provisions governing H-1B status. Please do consult with a trustworthy immigration attorney so that your choice employee can work for you without unwanted immigration concerns.

Action:
We helped our client prove that the new hire received advanced training, was a member of a profession that requires the application of a specialized body of knowledge, and that the offered salary satisfied the criteria.

Result:
Nine days later, our client’s choice dentist could legally work.
