Hartung & Associates provide Prevailing Wage Reports for all types of Foreign Labor Certifications. These Prevailing Wage Reports are custom written for any job in any location in the United States in ONE working day or less.
I develop Prevailing Wage Reports that includes the appropriate occupational group and OES/SOC code, the area of intended employment, the LCA Code and the NAICS Code. The Foreign Labor Certification OES/SOC database changes the way prevailing wage reports are developed and calculated. The four-tier wage structure both makes available additional flexibility and requires strict adherence to regulations regarding job description comparisons, educational level correlation and experience requirements.
With each prevailing wage report you will receive a completed Department of Labor worksheet. The worksheet will include all 6 steps identified, documented and completed. You will be able to see how the wage level was developed and calculated. The fee for a standard prevailing wage report is $285.00.
College or University Faculty positions for all levels for all 50 states.
Medical Resident
(House Staff) positions for years 1 - 7 for all 50 states.
I know the turnaround time for report completion is critical. I can turnaround a request for an OES-SOC wage in 24 hours or less. With my service, your employer can get an earlier immigrant visa priority date for their employees.
Hartung & Associates has been developing vocational profiles and transferable skill analyzes for over 20 years. We have developed a process to apply this methodology to Work Experience Evaluation reports.
I can analyze work experience alone or a combination of work and academic achievement to determine if they meet the requirements for an equivalency to a Bachelor's Degree from an Accredited University of College in the United States.
Applying this expertise to cases needing a Work Experience Evaluation, has proven very successful for our immigration clients whether they are Attorneys, Medical Facilities, Universities or self referrals.
The fee for a standard Work Experience Evaluation is $498.00 with a five day turnaround once we have all the necessary referral information.
A
detailed up-to-date resume of the applicant.
A detailed job description of the job offer.
All Employment Comfirmation that have been completed for the applicant.
Any diplomas from foreign or U.S. Colleges or Universities.
College Transcripts from any college coursework (English Translation)
I also specialize in providing National Interest Waiver Evaluation for Physicians. I use licensed board certificated physicians to analyze the candidates credentials. These evaluations can be done for any type of medical specialty or subspecialty practiced in the United States.

I know how to develop evidence that an offered job qualifies as a "specialty occupation" and that the job requires the services of a holder of Bachelor's Degree or Master’s Degree.
Initially, I show how the person's bachelor's degree in the field or a closely related field qualifies for the position by using the O*NET and a standard vocational analysis technique called Transferable Skill Analysis.
The transferable skill analysis, along with the actual job description, is then compared to the matched occupational group description in the O*NET. The comparison demonstrates how the job duties and associated knowledge are so specialized that the job requires a Bachelor's Degree or Master’s Degree as a fundamental requirement in order to perform the assigned work tasks. The fee for this service starts at $498.00 and depending the complexity of the situation can be increased.
The introduction of the new prevailing wage regulations in the "Prevailing Wage Determination Policy Guidance for Nonagricultural Immigration Programs" that was released under cover of a memorandum dated March 7, 2005 and the most recent Memorandum dated May 9, 2005 titled "Revised Prevailing Wage Determination Guidance" now make job description development even more important.
An employer can no longer identify a few job tasks and the educational level for any job offer. Education and training level, field of study, length of education or training and amount of experience are topics that need to be addressed in order to accurately state the job description criteria outlined in the new regulations.
There are no longer just entry and experience level categories. Now, the regulations use four classifications (entry, qualified, experienced & fully competent) for determining were the employer's job offer is classified. Each one has a specific definition that includes criteria that has to be addressed in order for a job offer description to qualify for that classification.
The description of an employer's job offer is now a critical factor. A job offer description that is not correctly written can mean an inaccurate O*NET classification or prevailing wage classification that is thousands of dollars higher then is necessary.
I know that the identification of the correct O*NET occupational group, which states the work tasks, knowledge, skill level and work activities is critical to develop an accurate job description for use in support letters, PERM applications or determining prevailing wages.
I have been working with the O*NET since it was introduced. I have carefully studied each new O*NET version as they have been introduced. I can accurately identify any job offer with the appropriate O*NET Occupational Group. I can then assist you with the development and writing of the job description and the job title so that it accurately reflects the tasks, educational & training parameters, knowledge requirements, and work activities to be performed according to the employers needs and the U.S. Department of Labor's guidelines in GAL 2-98, GAL 1-00 and the two new memorandums used for prevailing wage determinations.
After completing the job description, the same government developed worksheet that is used to process prevailing wage referrals is completed and then a Prevailing Wage Report is written that can be used for either an H-1b or PERM, Permanent Labor Certification Application or H1-b.
Turnaround time is between 3 – 4 working days to complete a job description. The price for developing each job description is $250.00 - $375.00. The fee will depend on the complexity of the work.
