Our Timeline Estimator predicts the estimated processing time for your PERM application using a combination of recent processing data and the specifics of your application.

Here's a simplified breakdown of our prediction logic:

Employer's Name Initial (80% Influence):

Employers whose names begin with earlier letters (A-I) typically experience shorter processing times. Companies starting with letters later in the alphabet (S-Z) often experience longer processing times.

Example: An employer name beginning with "A" can be processed about 160 days faster than one beginning with "M". Conversely, one beginning with "Z" could take roughly 160 days longer than one starting with "M".

Submission Date (20% Influence):

The day of the month when your application is submitted has a minor effect. This may impact processing times by approximately 30-40 days.

Real Processing Speeds & Buffer:

Our estimator uses the actual processing speed observed from the last three weeks and adds a 15% buffer to provide realistic upper-bound estimates.

Confidence Level:

Our estimates come with about an 80% confidence level, meaning they're reliable, but not guaranteed.
