IV. PERMANENT RESIDENCY PROCESSING
IV.2 APPOINTED COUNSEL FOR EMPLOYMENT BASED PERMANENT RESIDENCY OPTIONS
For every employer/UToledo 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 card” 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, EB-1, and others). It is important to discuss what eligibility may exist for employer sponsored applications as well as potential self-petitions. Please contact CISP with questions.
