IV. PERMANENT RESIDENCY PROCESSING

IV.2 APPOINTED COUNSEL FOR EMPLOYMENT BASED PERMANENT RESIDENCY OPTIONS

For every employer/ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ sponsored position, The University of Toledo must use only attorneys appointed by the Ohio Attorney General. No Department or employee may use a private attorney for employer sponsored petitions. (Note: Self petitions do not have these restrictions). The University’s attorney upon Departmental request can look at the prospective employee’s qualifications and make recommendations regarding whether other “green cardâ€� filings exist. Although the Labor Certification process is the most common filing for some individuals, there may exist other options (for example, National Interest Waivers and EB-1). It is important to discuss what eligibility may exist for employer sponsored applications and potential self-petitions. Please contact CISP with questions.
