A case number gets you the status in plain English, what the queue in front of it looks like, and the employer's own record. It will not get you a decision date, and the page says why.
These statuses are read from DOL directly. The FLAG case-status search answers a batch lookup, and we run it against every undecided case every 12 hours and against all of them weekly. DOL publishes no documented API for this, so it is the same endpoint their own search page uses rather than a supported one. The date shown on each case is when the tracker saw it, not when we did, and it is a snapshot rather than a live feed. DOL is the authority for any case and this page is never a substitute for the determination letter. Check it yourself at flag.dol.gov.

Estimate
DOL's queue passed this filing month 4 months ago. A case still pending at that point has usually been taken out of filing order by an audit, a request for information, or a hold, and none of those can be dated from the filing month. The live status above is the accurate read.
Cases at this stage have been pending a measured average of 399 days since filing.
Every figure here is a count over the per-case snapshot. None of them is a date, and none of them is a rate this case will move at.
The ordinary queue. An analyst will work through it in filing order, and until they reach it nothing about the case changes. This is where the overwhelming majority of pending cases sit, and waiting is the whole of it.
91,168 cases are in this status right now, across every filing month. That is a measure of how common the state is, and nothing more. It is not how likely this case is to leave it or where it goes next: the feed has only been observing status changes since August 2026, and weeks of transitions cannot honestly price the odds of one.
Analyst review is the ordinary queue and it moves in filing order. Everything else takes a case out of that order, which is the honest answer to “DOL passed my month and I still have nothing”.
106 of the 472 still open are in analyst review.

A month is not slow or fast on its own. Two either side is enough to see whether this one is ordinary, and July 2025 is not the only thing DOL is holding.
Every decided PERM case DOL published for Honda Aircraft Company, LLC, across FY2024 to FY2026. It describes the employer's filings, not this case.
A clean record over 9 cases is worth knowing and it is not a rate. At this volume one denial would move the figure by tens of percentage points, so the counts are here and the percentage is not. Everything published about Honda Aircraft Company, LLC.

DOL is working October 2025, newer than this case
DOL is working October 2025, which is 3 months newer than this case's filing month. So filing order is no longer what this case is waiting on. 472 cases filed in July 2025 are still open, out of 9,890 filed that month.
A case that stays open past its month is usually in one of the queues that takes it out of filing order: a request for information, an audit, supervised recruitment, or an appeal. The split below shows which of those the rest of the month is sitting in.
9,890 cases were filed in July 2025. 9,418 of them have been decided so far, which is 95.2% of the month.
