This release keeps the queue month on the site after DOL stopped printing it. It also brings job codes into the case tracker and links each filing to the others around it.
Where DOL is, now that DOL doesn't say
On October 31 DOL's processing times page stopped printing the filing month it's deciding. It now gives only average days, over the last 30, 90 and 180 days.
The site shows the month from our own daily check of DOL's case status: the oldest busy filing month DOL hasn't yet decided half of. DOL's averages sit beside it, dated as DOL published them. Filing month alerts keep going on the same check.
Job codes, in the case tracker
- The case form has a SOC code box under the position title. It offers the codes employers filed that title under in DOL's files.
- The job description can start from O*NET's description and tasks for the code. Take it, leave it, or undo it. It never writes the minimum requirements, which are the employer's to set.
- Under the code, a short brief gives the median offered wage and how often DOL certified it. It also lists the titles employers use.
- The SOC code database has a page for every job title employers filed, and what each code it was filed under covers.
- A new guide walks through it: Writing a PERM job description from its SOC code.
Every filing, linked
- A pending PERM case lists the employer's wage requests for the same job that DOL had answered by the day the case was filed. The case's own is very likely one of them.
- A wage request lists the PERM cases that may rest on it.
- An employer's name links to its page in every list that names one: wage requests, LCAs, the seasonal visas, the case search and the day's changes.
- On PERM cases, decided case numbers and job titles link to their pages.
Enforcement
- Settlements sets each Justice Department settlement with a work-visa sponsor since June 2025 beside DOL's live record for that company. A settled employer's own page says what DOJ and DOL did.
- The policy feed carries the Justice Department's actions.
- A new guide: My employer can't file PERM: what it means for my green card.
Pages that read faster
- Employer pages are tidier. Filings sit in one aligned table, the sources fit on one line, and you can search an employer's filings from its own page.
- Summary cards say which way each figure moved, and whether that's good where it matters: processing times, the queue, USCIS forms, visa waits and firm rankings.
- Nothing loads in silence. A filter change keeps the page on screen while it refreshes, and every save says it's working.
Fixes
- A review no longer needs a name.
- Two pages gave the wrong answer for a while, now in the corrections log: the green card planner left out the wage request, and the page after a low rating offered PERM's next steps to every case.
