A recent report from immigration attorney Adrian Pandev indicates that a batch of PERM labor certifications filed in December 2024 has been approved after a lengthy processing period of 16 months. This approval follows an additional nearly year-long wait for prevailing wage determination and recruitment efforts, raising concerns about the efficiency of the Department of Labor’s processing times.
Key Details:
- Approval Date: Recent approvals for December 2024 filings.
- Processing Time: 16 months for PERM labor certifications.
- Additional Wait: Nearly 12 months for prevailing wage determination and recruitment.
- Audited Cases: Face even longer delays, prompting calls for policy review.
These prolonged processing times are impacting many immigrants seeking employment-based green cards, leading to calls for the Department of Labor to reassess its definition of ‘reasonable processing times.’
