Just had updated PERM strategy call, the law firm is expecting to start recruitment late fall or latest early next year. (Based on current situation). Law firm also said that Deloitte internal immigration is doing lots of analysis but law firm didn’t expect this pause will take one year. Also anyone on pause, law firm would still go ahead and order wage statement and any wage statement post after June would be valid for one year.

Is there any risk of travel king out of country multiple times on H1B before 485 approval?
