PWD processing time
Prevailing Wage Determination is a separate DOL clock before a PERM filing. These are the published FLAG PWD queue months, not the ETA-9089 Analyst Review queue and not an individual case-status estimate.

How PWD fits into PERM
PWD is generally completed before recruitment and before Form ETA-9089 is filed. Once a PERM is filed, use the separate public ETA-9089 queue comparison instead.
