What determines how fast my PERM case gets processed?

Two main factors:

• Employer Name Initial: Has the most significant impact (about 80%). Companies with earlier alphabet initials are generally processed faster.
• Submission Date: Has a minor effect (about 20%). The exact date you submit within a month can slightly influence your wait time.

How accurate are these timeline estimates?

Our predictions incorporate recent processing data and statistical methods. While they typically reflect real-world results with around 80% confidence, they're estimations—not guarantees. Processing times can vary based on unforeseen factors at the DOL.
