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.

The middle five digits are a date: day 158 of 2024, which is June 6, 2024. DOL publishes no key for the prefix, so this page does not put a meaning on it.

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.
A decision has been issued on the case, and the live status has not yet settled to the outcome. DOL publishes no definition for this intermediate state.
9 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”.
0 of the 27 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 June 2024 is not the only thing DOL is holding.
Every decided PERM case DOL published for Cyber-Dive Corp, across FY2024 to FY2026. It describes the employer's filings, not this case.
A clean record over 1 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 Cyber-Dive Corp.

DOL is working October 2025, newer than this case
DOL is working October 2025, which is 16 months newer than this case's filing month. So filing order is no longer what this case is waiting on. 27 cases filed in June 2024 are still open, out of 13,985 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.
13,985 cases were filed in June 2024. 13,958 of them have been decided so far, which is 99.8% of the month.
