Please note that the estimated wait to review PERM applications filed in December 2024 has increased from 439 days to 462. The actual timeframe to review individual cases may be more or less than 462 days.

For various reasons, the DOL may be completing the processing of applications filed prior to the months posted. If your application was filed more than three months prior to the month posted, you may contact the OFLC PERM Helpdesk of a status on the application at plc.atlanta@dol.gov.
