You should check first the companies are in Vietnam, and the permcheck website is not Department of Labor. You should check with Dept. of Labor. You always use the companies in US instead.

Yes. MUY Pizza is Pizza Hut's Chain restaurant. Some people say MUY Pizza backwards is YUM brands.
This Vietnamese company say it is Green Card under EB3 Unskilled visa category. I don't know they can or can't find employees in the US? But you can look at Perm Labor Certification statistics link in my first post. The jobs are: COOK, PIZZA COOK, FOOD SERVICE WORKER, PREP COOK.
Yes. I agree it sounds like a scam. But right now, alot of people in Vietnam applied with this company. And they got alot of Perm Labor Certification from Pizza Hut. They share it on their FB page.
This sounds like indentured servitude. What if you can't pay back the visa fees? Do they charge interest on the visa fees advance? Pizza hut wages are minimum at best, you'll probably be paying that back for years.
Also, the priority dates on EB2 filings are close to 10 years backdated for some categories, so 3 years to obtain a green card on EB3 sounds like wishful thinking at best.
Sounds like a risky venture, with risk of deportation and loss of future ability to immigrate if this company is a scam.
The sheer amount of money asked says it's a scam. And the company, if caught, would be fined and debarred from using the program for making you, the employee, pay it.
Yes, there is a sub-category of EB-3 for "other worker" and it has 5,000 visas per year allocated to it. That's where the unskilled jobs are. Right now, the quota is not too badly backlogged, but that's because it's virtually impossible to get through the labor certification process for such a job.
Several years back, a lawyer and some others pulled the same scam, using a Chilis restaurant. The restaurant owners had no idea their name was on the applications, and helped with the sting to catch the scammers. This must be a different group, because those guys are still in prison.
I have some information and am trying to reach you. How can I contact you? My email is michael.grabell (at) propublica.org. Thanks!
