Mr. John Nicelli filed a number of Labor certifications for a Marble and Granite Co. The position was that of a Stone Polisher.  The wage for the position was twelve dollars per hour. After submission of the labor certification under Pre-Perm procedures the Department of Labor requested that the wage offer be changed to twenty seven dollars per hour.  After vigorously challenging the wage, The NYS Department of Labor agreed that the wage stated by Mr. John Nicelli was in fact the correct wage for this position. All the Labor Certification applications filed by the employer were approved and all the employees became permanent residents.
