DOL Updates PERM and PWD Processing Time

The Labor Department has updated processing times for permanent labor certification (PERM) applications and prevailing wage determination (PWD) requests. The agency is now processing PERM applications filed by August 2023 and earlier, with audits for those filed by December 2022. Prevailing wage requests for H-1B and non-H-1B cases from February 2024 and earlier are also under review. Appeals for redeterminations filed by May 2024 are being considered, and Center Director Reviews for cases from August 2023 and earlier are ongoing.
