Current PERM Processing Dates/Times (April 30, 2009)

The Department of Labor has provided an update on the current PERM processing dates as of April 30, 2009.  They are as follows:

  • No audit: November 2008 (a month ago, DOL was processing PERM applications filed in April 2008, this is a significant positive development);
  • Audit: September 2007 (no change from a month ago);
  • Appeal: June 2007 (no change from a month ago).

We have noticed that PERM system improvements and the emphasis on efficiency at the Atlanta PERM center have improved the PERM processing times from approximately 9 months in March 2009 to around 6-7 months as of end of April 2009.
