PERM Tracker

Tanner LLC

4 PERM filings in DOL's current disclosure window, 4 certified and 0 denied. Name as DOL prints it, which is the legal entity on the form.

Too few cases for a rate

4 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.

ANALYST REVIEW
2100%

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.

From DOL's live status of 6 of this sponsor's cases: read this share against 6, never against the lifetime filings above. Live case tracker, as of October 4, 2026

None of their cases were decided in the last 90 days, too few for a median of their own. Filing to decision, over decisions we watched DOL make; withdrawals left out.

Filed today: a new case joins the same line as anyone's, behind 85,287 cases, and would be decided around February 23, 2027 (between January 25, 2027 and April 13, 2027). Estimate another date

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, read under the 3 spellings DOL's files use for it; 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. Seasonal wages stay hourly, as DOL's H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 files quote them: a job lasting a season, annualised over a full year, would describe pay nobody earns. DOL certified 40 workers across these filings.

Each figure ranked only among sponsors with enough cases for it to mean something. No single score: they measure different things.

What its H-1B LCAs were for

From DOL's quarterly LCA files: 14 LCAs filed by Tanner LLC, 14 of them certified with the worker breakdown on Form ETA-9035.

New hires and transfers

10 positions for new employment, 1 moving here from another employer.

  • New employment 7a 10 · 71%
  • Change of employer 7e 1 · 7%
  • Continuing 7b 2 · 14%
  • Change in previous employment 7c 1 · 7%
  • Concurrent employment 7d 0 · 0%
  • Amended petition 7f 0 · 0%

Shares of the 14 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 5 · 36%
  • Level II 5 · 36%
  • Level III 2 · 14%
  • Level IV 2 · 14%

Shares of the 14 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 14 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 3, 2026. Declared H-1B-dependent on 0 of 14 LCAs, and a willful violator on 0 of 14. 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

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 4 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

Accountants and Auditors

SOC 13-2011.00 · 4 filings, 100% of everything they file

How this is counted

These are the occupation with the most filings, 4 of 4 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

Offices of Certified Public Accountants

NAICS 541211 · 4 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

  • Utah 4

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 10,277 of 71,512 by volume: 10,276 filed at least as many filings, and 61,235 filed no more.

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 4 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 #10,277 counts this page's cases only.

9 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

5 notes
The wage is the job, not the payer
Their filings are led by Accountants and Auditors, 4 of 4. 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 4 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 10,277. 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 4 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. The worksite on most of these is UT. 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, 373,939 decided cases. Nothing pending is counted here. How each figure is built
