PERMTime

PERM labor certification

PERM is a DOL labor certification step. PERMTime does not read case numbers and does not replace FLAG Case Status Search.

Form ETA-9089

PERM is filed with DOL on Form ETA-9089. The filing month of that form is the only personal date PERMTime uses.

Standard vs audit

Most cases follow the standard analyst queue. If DOL issues an audit notice, the case moves to the audit queue. The two queues are published separately.

What this tool shows

Public review month, recent average days, and an evidence-backed public period only when comparable public outcomes exist. Not an individual certification or approval date.
