ANALYST REVIEW
8599%

A Department of Labor analyst has the application. This is the main queue, and it is where most pending PERM cases sit.

RECONSIDERATION APPEALS

The employer has asked the same officer who denied the case to look at it again, within 30 days of the denial. The request can only use documents DOL already had, so new evidence can't be added to fix what the denial was based on.

A queue position is national and first in, first out, so none of this changes what any one case waits. Where DOL is working now is the figure that does.

Every case in DOL's disclosure files has already been decided, so none of the filing counts on this page can see a case that is still waiting. This is the other source: a per-case tracker that carries a current status. It counts 336 cases for this sponsor and 86 of them have no decision yet. Read the share against that 336, never against the lifetime filings above. Live case tracker, as of September 1, 2026

Latest filings, live from DOL

Newer than DOL's published files, so the wage and law firm aren't known yet. Each case links to its live status.

Each bar counts sponsors at that value. Sponsors with fewer than 30 decided cases are left out of the population rather than plotted, because a rate over a handful of cases lands wherever the handful landed. The line marks this one. DOL PERM disclosure files

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 actually turns on.

What the jobs are

Accountants and Auditors

SOC 13-2011.00 · 142 filings, 54% of everything they file · 100.0% approved

These are the 6 occupations with the most filings, 241 of 262 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.

Where the jobs are

  • California 61
  • New York 52
  • Texas 34
  • Illinois 20
  • Virginia 14
  • Washington 14

The worksite state on the application, which is where the job is and not where the company is headquartered. Volume by state across everyone is on the state map. These 6 states cover 195 of 262 filings.

Who files for them

The law firm named on the application. 261 of 262 filings, 100% of the total.

Against the sponsors ranked nearest

The 120 sponsors ranked nearest this one filed between 186 and 424 filings. Their median wait is 462 days, and this one sits 16 days ahead of that. No approval rate is given for the band. 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.

Where this sits in the ranking

Ranked 143 of 71,512 by volume: 142 filed at least as many filings, and 71,369 filed no more.

Sponsors filing at the same rate

The sponsors ranked either side of this one, which is the same as saying they file about as many PERM cases a year. Worksite state isn't carried per employer in this data, so these are volume peers rather than neighbours; filings by state are on the state map.

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 #143 counts this page's cases only.

1,792 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

The wage is the job, not the payer
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 a company with four thousand filings waits exactly as long as one with three.
The name is a legal entity
DOL prints whatever went on the form. 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 260 decided cases
The queue is national and first in, first out, so this figure follows when the cases were filed as much as it follows the sponsor.
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. Where the queue stands overall is on the processing times page.

The window these figures cover

DOL's FY2026 Q3 and FY2025 Q4 and New Form FY2024 Q4 and FY2024 Q4 PERM disclosure files, unioned and de-duplicated by case number: 373,939 cases. Every case in them carries a decision, so nothing here counts what’s still pending. How each figure is built, and what it can and can't answer, is set out in the methodology.
