Folks my employer has filled for prevailing wage determination with DOL. Going by current processing it will take atleast 5 months to get it back. My question is can I push the lawyer to start the recruitment process? I understand that they have to wait for pwd to come back and then file for Perm with DOL (provided offered wage is higher or equal to pwd else they’ll have to restart the recruitment). So apart fron taking this risk anyother thing I should consider? Have you or anyone you know….

had done it? I really don’t want to waste 5-6 mths and then start perm as who knows how long will that take to approve. I have a pd of Oct 2015 from previous I140.

pwd takes 7-8 months right now

I suggest speaking with another immigration lawyer and get their pov. But overall doesn’t sound like a good idea and there is definitely risk

Yes I get it but even if the recruitment needs to be done again it’s 60-90 days excercise and there’s ton of previous pwd data that tells that prevailing wage for my current position will be higher than what DOL would recommend. I just don’t to waste time as I don’t know how long Perm will take after pwd and recruitment period.
