ILLUMINA
104 PERM filings in DOL's current disclosure window, 102 certified and 1 denied. Name as DOL prints it, which is the legal entity on the form.
This rate is level with the field
Computed over 103 decided filings. The 95% interval runs up to a 5.3% 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.

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

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
SOC 15-1252.00 · 16 filings, 15% of everything they file
- Computer Systems Analysts 15-1211.0011
- Bioinformatics Scientists 19-1029.0110
- Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers 17-2031.009
- Industrial Engineers 17-2112.003
- Manufacturing Engineers 17-2112.033
These are the 6 occupations with the most filings, 52 of 104 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 104
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 104 of 104 filings.
Who files for them
- Graham Adair, Inc. 104 filings · 99.0% approved
The law firm named on the application. 104 of 104 filings, 100% of the total.
Against the sponsors ranked nearest
The 120 sponsors ranked nearest this one filed between 90 and 129 filings. Their median wait is 464 days, and this one sits 19 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 352 of 71,512 by volume: 351 filed at least as many filings, and 71,160 filed no more.
- Just above
- Verkada, Inc 104 filings
- Just below
- AECOM Technical Services Inc 103 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.
- #351 Verkada, Inc 104 filings · none denied
- #353 AECOM Technical Services Inc 103 filings · 1 denied
- #350 Riot Games, Inc. 105 filings · 4 denied
- #354 Dobski & Associates, Inc. 103 filings · none denied
- #349 CIRRUS LOGIC INTERNATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR LTD. 105 filings · 2 denied
- #355 Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 103 filings · none denied
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 103 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.
