Current PERM Processing Dates/Times (as of May 31, 2010)

The Department of Labor (“DOL”) has provided an update on the current PERM processing dates as of May 31, 2010.  They are as follows:

  • Regular processing: August 2009.  DOL is processing PERM applications with priority dates in August of 2009.  This suggests that there is certain forward movement for regular PERM processing.  Accordingly, regular PERM processing times should be approximately nine (9) months.
  • Audited applications: May 2008.  This is no movement in this category in comparison to prior months.   Accordingly, audited PERM applications are processed approximately 24 months after the initial PERM was filed and the priority date established.
  • Appealed applications: December 2007.  There is some delay in this category in comparison to prior months.   Accordingly, PERM appeals are processed approximately 29 months after the initial PERM was filed and its priority date established.

We continue monitoring the PERM processing times and analyze any updates.  Please visit us again or subscribe to our free weekly newsletter to ensure that you obtain this and related immigration-related news and announcement.
