| Compared
with the RIR process which takes somewhere from several months to several
years, the cases under the PERM system, if not selected for further
review, will be approved within 45 to 60 days from the filing date, which
is substantially faster process due to the combination of pre-filing
recruitment, using an automated system for processing applications (even
for applications submitted by mail) and the elimination of the SWA¡¯s
previous role in the recruiting process. I anticipate that we should
get the labor certification approval within 6 months from the start to the
approval. |
