About PERM Tracker

PERM Tracker is a free, independent website that follows the PERM labor certification process using the Department of Labor's own published data.

Who runs it

Sabrina Soltau is an immigration attorney. She started PERM Tracker because her clients had no way to see where a case stood between the filing and the decision.

Two halves, both free

The same federal record, read for two different people.

Waiting on a case

Look up a PERM, wage request, LCA, H-2A or H-2B number, pending ones included, and get an email when DOL moves it. No account needed.

A PERM case looked up on permtracker.app: DOL's status in plain English and the estimated decision date
A real case, looked up on October 11, 2026.

Running a practice

A free deadline app for attorneys, paralegals and HR teams: every date under 20 CFR 656 worked out per case, with reminders and calendar sync.

The Deadlines panel in the PERM Tracker app: each case's next date, sorted into overdue, this week, this month and later
Sample cases. The employers are invented.

Where every figure comes from

Three federal agencies, read several times a day and live on every case lookup. Each figure carries its source and its date.

  • DOL's PERM processing times page: the filing month its analysts are working on and its average wait, as DOL publishes them. DOL Processing times
  • DOL's case status search on flag.dol.gov, answering RFI ISSUED for one LinkedIn Corporation PERM case. DOL Case status search
  • The final action dates chart for employment-based cases in the State Department's November 2026 visa bulletin. State Dept. Visa bulletin
  • The first page of Form ETA-9089, Application for Permanent Employment Certification. DOL Form ETA‑9089
  • The first page of Form ETA-9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination. DOL Form ETA‑9141
  • The first page of Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. USCIS Form I‑485
The federal pages every figure here comes from, and the forms a case moves through.
  1. Department of Labor Every case's status, pending included, and the quarterly files with the wage
  2. USCIS I-140 and I-485 counts and processing times
  3. State Department Every visa bulletin since June 2005
PERM Tracker Checks DOL several times a day, loads each new file the day it lands, and asks DOL again whenever a case is looked up.

What it isn't

  • Not a law firm Nothing here is legal advice, and using it doesn't make you anyone's client.
  • Not the government It reads what DOL, USCIS and the State Department publish, and can't see inside DOL beyond that.
  • Not your file It doesn't file anything. Your attorney has the file. This site shows where the queue is.
