Track and predict PERM labor certification processing times with our intelligent analytics tools and case tracker.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.

Where does permupdate.com obtain its data?

We primarily use publicly available data provided by the U.S. Department of Labor (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/performance). Additionally, we manually gather daily updates from other publicly accessible websites to enhance accuracy and timeliness.
