DOL printed the worker's citizenship, education and visa on its old form, and the last cases filed on it were decided in FY2024; the form in use since mid-2023 doesn't carry them. So these pages describe FY2008 to FY2023 (years) and FY2016 to FY2024 (everything else).
Case data: DOL quarterly disclosure files (flag.dol.gov) · data through Jun 30, 2026 · quarterly Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting is not in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases, not the queue.
