This rate is level with the field
Computed over 75 decided filings. The 95% interval runs up to a 4.9% denial rate, which still covers the 3.20% the field as a whole records, so this record can't be told apart from the field in either direction.

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
Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers
SOC 51-3022.00 · 58 filings, 75% of everything they file · 100.0% approved
- Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers 51-30225
- Meat, Poultry, and Fish Cutters and Trimmers 35-30222
These are the 3 occupations with the most filings, 65 of 77 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
- Georgia 77
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. This state covers 77 of 77 filings.
Who files for them
- PAN AMERICAN LABOR 8 filings
The law firm named on the application. 8 of 77 filings, 10% of the total.
Against the sponsors ranked nearest
The 120 sponsors ranked nearest this one filed between 68 and 85 filings. Their median wait is 458 days, and this one sits 9 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 491 of 71,512 by volume: 490 filed at least as many filings, and 71,021 filed no more.
- Just above
- Zebra Technologies Corporation 77 filings
- Just below
- MM Management Systems, LLC 77 filings
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 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 75 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.
