What the figures mean
PERM labor certification is the step where the US employer shows the Department of Labor that no qualified US worker is available for the job. DOL works through applications roughly in the order they were filed, and each month it publishes the filing month it has reached.
If your filing month is the same as or earlier than the month shown, your application is in the range DOL is working on. Some are decided earlier or later than others, and an audit adds time.
The average is DOL’s figure across every application. Nobody can tell you the day yours will be decided, and we never will.
