Too few cases for a rate
20 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.

Where those 1 are standing
- ANALYST REVIEW
- 1100%
A Department of Labor analyst has the application. This is the main queue, and it is where most pending PERM cases sit.
None of this changes one case's wait: DOL works one national line. Where DOL is working now is the figure that does.

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.

What its H-1B LCAs were for
From DOL's quarterly LCA files: 2 LCAs filed by NATIONAL WIRE LLC, 2 of them certified with the worker breakdown on Form ETA-9035.
New hires and transfers
1 positions for new employment, 1 moving here from another employer.
- New employment 7a 1 · 50%
- Change of employer 7e 1 · 50%
- Continuing 7b 0 · 0%
- Change in previous employment 7c 0 · 0%
- Concurrent employment 7d 0 · 0%
- Amended petition 7f 0 · 0%
Shares of the 2 worker positions requested. These are positions on certified LCAs, not people hired: DOL certifies an LCA before any petition, and many are never used.
What each box on the form means
- New employment (7a). Starting with a new employer.
- Change of employer (7e). Moving here from another employer, keeping the visa classification already held.
- Continuing (7b). Staying with the same employer.
- Change in previous employment (7c). Same employer, no material change to the job duties.
- Concurrent employment (7d). Adding this employer while keeping another.
- Amended petition (7f). Same employer, with a material change to the job duties.
Form ETA-9035, Section B, Item 7, in DOL's words from its LCA record layout. One LCA can tick several boxes.
Wage level it chose
- Level I 2 · 100%
- Level II 0 · 0%
- Level III 0 · 0%
- Level IV 0 · 0%
Shares of the 2 certified LCAs that named an OES level. The form asks for the level only when the employer set the wage from the OES survey itself; 0 of 2 used another source, such as a DOL wage determination or another survey. Level I is entry, Level IV fully competent.
What it declared on Section H
- H-1B-dependent
- No
- Found a willful violator
- No
As answered on its newest LCA, filed April 25, 2022. Declared H-1B-dependent on 0 of 2 LCAs, and a willful violator on 0 of 2. Both are the employer's own answers.
What the two answers mean
H-1B-dependent (20 CFR 655.736(a)): 25 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees in the US and more than 7 H-1B workers; 26 to 50 and more than 12; or 51 or more, with H-1B workers equal to at least 15% of them.
Willful violator (655.736(f)): DOL or the Justice Department found a willful failure or a misrepresentation of a material fact in the five years before the LCA was filed.
Either one adds two promises to the employer's LCAs: not to displace US workers, and to recruit US workers before hiring H-1B workers (655.738, 655.739). They don't apply to an LCA used only for exempt workers, paid at least $60,000 a year or holding a related master's degree (655.737). The rule on eCFR

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.
Where this sits in the ranking
Ranked 2,330 of 70,985 by volume: 2,329 filed at least as many filings, and 68,655 filed no more.

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 51-9198.00 · 20 filings, 100% of everything they file
How this is counted
These are the occupation with the most filings, 20 of 20 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
Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing
NAICS 331110 · 20 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.
Where the jobs are
- Texas 20
How this is counted
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 20 of 20 filings.
Where the work is
- Conroe, TX 20
How this is counted
The worksite city on the application, which is where the job is. This city covers 20 of 20 filings.
Who files for them
- NajlaAbuShaaban Associates, PC 20 filings
How this is counted
The law firm named on the application. 20 of 20 filings, 100% of the total.

Notes on these numbers
What these numbers don't say
5 notes
- The wage is the job, not the payer
- Their filings are led by PRODUCTION HELPER, 20 of 20. 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 20 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 2,330. 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 20 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. The worksite on most of these is TX. 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
Per-case statuses: flag.dol.gov/recaptcha/caseStatus (DOL, direct) · data through Oct 19, 2026 · daily
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.
Per-case statuses: Every PERM case DOL indexes, pending included. No wage, law firm or worksite: DOL reveals those only when a case is published.
