Too few cases for a rate
9 decided filings: too few for an approval rate.
Why
Across every PERM case DOL decided in this window, 3.20% were denied. At that rate a file this size comes back clean most of the time whatever the sponsor did, so a percentage would be a fact about how few cases there are. Telling a clean record apart from the field takes about 117 decided cases.

An email when DOL moves its cases as a group: five or more on or off hold in a day, or a batch decided well above its usual pace.
Fewer than five of its PERM cases are pending as of October 23, 2026, and the census that draws this bar starts at five.
What DOL has done to its cases as a group

How these are counted
Medians are of the published rows with a usable wage, annualised from whatever unit the filing quoted, and withheld under 10 wages. DOL publishes no employer number, so filings are matched by the employer's legal name; another employer with the same legal name would be counted here too. The PERM is the green-card step; the wage request comes months before it, and the LCA is the separate form for an H-1B. DOL publishes each in its own file, and its live record shows what is still open.

Why no approval rate
A band is a slice of the volume ranking rather than a population picked for having enough decided cases, so a band rate would be solid at the top of the list and noise at the bottom, under one heading.

What they file, and where
A rank says how much. It says nothing about what the work is, which is the part a job offer from this sponsor turns on.
What the jobs are
SOC 31-1014 · 9 filings, 100% of everything they file
How this is counted
These are the occupation with the most filings, 9 of 9 cases between them. The occupation on a PERM is the SOC code on the form, which is the job as DOL classifies it rather than the job title on the offer. DOL still accepts two SOC vintages, so one job can appear twice under two codes; the code is printed for exactly that reason.
The industry they declared
Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities)
NAICS 623110 · 9 filings
How this is counted
The NAICS code the employer entered on the form, with the Census Bureau's title for it. DOL publishes the code alone, and an employer can file under more than one.

Notes on these numbers
What this rank counts, and what it doesn't
DOL prints the name that went on the form, so one sponsor can appear under several. The 7 entries below start the same way and were not merged, because the difference between them is more than a mistyped letter. Some may be the same sponsor; some are a different one. Rank #5,476 counts this page's cases only.
- APERION CARE ELGIN, LLC 84 filings
- APERION CARE PLUM GROVE 41 filings
- APERION CARE WESTCHESTER 32 filings
- APERION CARE CHICAGO HEIGHTS 24 filings
- APERION CARE WEST CHICAGO, LLC 15 filings
- Aperion Care Wilmington 2 filings
- Aperion Care Burbank 1 filing
199 filings sit on those pages rather than this one. The methodology has the rule that decides which spellings merge.
What these numbers don't say
5 notes
- The wage is the job, not the payer
- Their filings are led by NURSING ASSITANTS, 9 of 9. The median offered wage moves almost entirely with what roles they file. A software developer and a poultry cutter are different numbers wherever they are filed, so this figure is not plotted against the field and no percentile is given for it: that comparison would rank occupation mix and call it pay. Wages by occupation are on the wages page.
- Volume doesn’t change the wait
- DOL works a single national queue, oldest first, whoever filed the case, so these 9 filings bought no priority: a company with four thousand waits exactly as long as one with three.
- The name is a legal entity
- DOL prints whatever went on the form, and here that name ranks 5,476. A group that files through several subsidiaries appears as several rows, and one that files everything through a parent appears once, so a rank is a rank among printed names rather than among companies.
- A median over 9 decided cases
- That’s a middle of a handful, and it moves entirely with which months those few cases were filed in.
- Two sources, and they do not add up
- The filing counts come from DOL's disclosure files, where every row already carries a decision date, so nothing pending is in them. The queue figures come from a live per-case tracker with its own coverage and its own as-of date. Subtracting one from the other gives a number that means nothing. The worksite on most of these is IL. Where the queue stands overall is on the processing times page.
The window these figures cover: DOL's PERM disclosure files for fiscal years 2024 to 2026, through the third quarter of 2026, 373,939 decided cases. Nothing pending is counted here. How each figure is built
Case data: DOL quarterly disclosure files (flag.dol.gov) · data through Jun 30, 2026 · quarterly
Employers and firms: Derived from DOL's disclosure files · data through Jun 30, 2026 · rebuilt with each quarterly load
What each source includes
Case data: Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting isn't in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases.
Employers and firms: Employers, law firms and occupations ranked from decided cases only.
