Holding a case number?
A case lookup reads DOL's live record for one case, which is a different and fresher source than the counts on this page.
Employers and firms: Derived from the disclosure corpus · data through Aug 26, 2026 · rebuilt with each quarterly ingest
Case data: DOL quarterly disclosure files (flag.dol.gov) · data through Jun 30, 2026 · quarterly
What each source includes
Employers and firms: Employers, law firms and occupations ranked from decided cases only.
Case data: Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting isn't in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases.
