3 PERM filings in DOL's current disclosure window, 3 certified and 0 denied. Name as DOL prints it, which is the legal entity on the form.

Too few cases for a rate

3 decided filings, so there's no approval rate here. 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.

5d 1152d

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. This sponsor has 3 decided cases, so its median days is marked but left unranked, and no approval rate is drawn at all. 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

Chemical Engineers

SOC 17-2041 · 1 filings, 33% of everything they file

Cost Estimators 13-10511
Industrial Engineers 17-21121

These are the 3 occupations with the most filings, 3 of 3 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

Ohio 3

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 3 of 3 filings.

Who files for them

Musillo Unkenholt, LLC. 3 filings

The law firm named on the application. 3 of 3 filings, 100% of the total.

Against the sponsors ranked nearest

The 120 sponsors ranked nearest this one filed 3 filings each. Their median wait is 385 days, and this one sits 3 days behind 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 16,232 of 71,512 by volume: 16,231 filed at least as many filings, and 55,280 filed no more.

Just below: GlobalTekForcecom 3 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 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 entry 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 #16,232 counts this page's cases only.

1 filing 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 3 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. 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.
