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.

How long their cases are taking

Every employer

median of 21,973 decisions in the same 90 days
302 days

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 85,243 cases, and would be decided around February 21, 2027 (between January 23, 2027 and April 10, 2027). Estimate another date

Across DOL's programs

The wage request, the PERM and the H-1B labor condition application, and its seasonal H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 work, one line each.

PERM (green card): 4 published; 0 pending; 4 wages, under the floor
Prevailing wage requests: 0 published; 0 pending; no wage published
H-1B labor condition applications: 0 published; 0 pending; no wage published
H-2A, H-2B and CW-1 (seasonal work): 6 published; 0 pending; 6 hourly wages, under the floor

Every case across these programs is in the search.

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 469 workers across these filings.

Fewer than five of its PERM cases are pending as of October 4, 2026, and the census that draws this bar starts at five.

Nothing employer-wide since this site's record began on August 27, 2026.

Each bar counts sponsors at that value. More

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

Agricultural Equipment Operators

SOC 45-2091 · 3 filings, 75% of everything they file

First-Line Supervisors of Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Workers 45-1011.001

How this is counted

These are the 2 occupations 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

Soybean Farming

NAICS 11111 · 3 filings

Oilseed and Grain Farming 11111

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

Missouri 3
Kentucky 1

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. These 2 states cover 4 of 4 filings.

Where the work is

Stewartsville, MO 3
Murray, KY 1

How this is counted

The worksite city on the application, which is where the job is. These 2 cities cover 4 of 4 filings.

Who files for them

Versfeld Hugo, LLC 3 filings
Pollak PLLC 1 filings

How this is counted

The law firm named on the application. 4 of 4 filings, 100% of the total.

Against the sponsors ranked nearest

The 120 sponsors ranked nearest filed 4 filings each.

Their median wait: 480 days
This one: 448 days

This one sits 32 days ahead of them.

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 11,230 of 71,512 by volume: 11,229 filed at least as many filings, and 60,282 filed no more.

Just above: InfraRed Capital Partners (US) LLC 4 filings
Just below: Columbus Fuji Group, Inc. 4 filings

Sponsors filing at the same rate

Ranked either side of this one: they file about as many PERM cases.

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 5 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 #11,230 counts this page's cases only.

22 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 Agricultural Equipment Operators, 3 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 11,230. 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 MO. 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
