What does Immigration Counsel do?  Provide easily accessible advice and collaboration on various general and specific immigration issues and University policies  Help to standardize policies and procedures for immigration cases  Offer training and education within University administration  Partner with OIS and OIA to work with international students, scholars, and employees on specific cases  Do not advise or assist with personal immigration matters o Attorney fees and outside counsel INDIANA UNIVERSITY 1

Special Handling vs. Standard PERM  Three-step Immigration Process 1)Labor Certification (PERM or Special Handling) 2)I-140 Petition for Immigrant Worker 3)I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status to Permanent Residence  Special Handling Procedures – Teaching Positions o Job descriptions and qualifications Define the position broadly Include only the minimum qualifications acceptable for the position o Preferences are considered requirements at the Department of Labor The foreign worker must satisfy the requirements at the time of selection o Advertisements and recruitment practices Published in a national professional journal (print or web for 30 days) Must include: o Job title o Job location o Duties o Requirements – minimum qualifications One-click Rule / Pointer Ads not recommended o Prevailing wage determinations (PWD) INDIANA UNIVERSITY 3

Special Handling vs. Standard PERM  Standard PERM Procedures o Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) o Document a good faith effort to test the U.S. labor market and ensure that no U.S. workers are available to fill the foreign worker’s position o Re-advertise and recruit for the position 2 Sunday print ads Job order with SWA for 30 days Notice posting in job location In-house media 3 additional forms of recruitment  Benefits of Special Handling over Standard PERM 1)Streamlined and relatively fast process 2)Most qualified candidate vs. Minimally qualified U.S. worker 3)Real-world recruitment satisfies the application requirements in most cases INDIANA UNIVERSITY 4
