Whose PERM cases DOL has pulled aside
Most pending PERM cases wait in analyst review, the ordinary queue. The rest have been set aside: put on hold, sent a request for information or a notice of deficiency, placed in supervised recruitment, or taken to appeal. This page counts those cases employer by employer from DOL's live record, so a concentration is visible without anyone working it out by hand.
Nationwide, as of September 17, 2026
94,468 PERM cases are pending. 88,780 of them are in analyst review; the rest sit at one of these stages.

What a count here does and does not mean
“On hold”, “RFI issued” and the appeal stages are DOL's own status words for a case, read from its case system and confirmed on the date above. They describe where a case is, not why. A hold can be administrative; an RFI is a routine request; an appeal is the employer's own filing. This page ranks counts and shares and draws no conclusion from them.
This site's record of status changes began on August 28, 2026. A case that was already on hold when the record began has no “since” date here, so a concentration on this page is not evidence that it is new. The decision activity page shows the changes DOL made on each day since.
Per-case statuses: flag.dol.gov/recaptcha/caseStatus (DOL, direct) · data through Sep 16, 2026 · daily Every PERM case DOL indexes, pending included. No wage, law firm or worksite: DOL reveals those only when a case is published.
