Current Reality: PERM applications are taking 490-500+ days to process as of 2025.
The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) is the system used by the U.S. Department of Labor to process applications for permanent labor certification. This certification is required for most employment-based green card applications, ensuring that hiring foreign workers will not adversely affect U.S. workers' wages and working conditions.
PERM processing times vary significantly based on several factors. The Department of Labor processes applications by submission month first, then alphabetically by employer name within each month. For example, if you submit in May 2025, DOL will process all May 2025 cases, but companies with names starting with earlier letters (A-I) will be processed before those starting with later letters (S-Z).
Our dashboard provides real-time insights into PERM processing trends, including daily volume changes, weekly processing rates, and monthly backlogs. This data helps employers and immigration attorneys better understand current processing patterns and estimate timelines for pending applications.
Our timeline estimator uses statistical analysis and historical processing data to calculate accurate predictions for PERM case completion dates. The algorithm determines your queue position based on submission date and employer name initial, then applies current processing rates and backlog data to estimate completion timelines.
