PERM is pending since last 8 months

USA PERM
#1

Hello All,

@anil_am22- Please suggest

My PERM was filed on May 29th, 2020, and still, it is under analyst review. My law firm did quite a follow-up with DOL, but the reply is the same. “it is pending, under analyst review”. It has been 8 months now, what can be done. Why is there is a delay, is everyone facing the same kind of delay?

Many people are facing the delays due to shortage of staff in COVID.

Same here … My Perm filed on 06/29/2020. and it is still in Analyst Review.

My PERM was filed in Mar 2020 and got a regular RFC in summer last year and Attorney responded in Sep 2020 and I am still waiting. As of today, it is still under review with USCIS. I am not sure how to track this from my end as Attorney says there is not receipt number or so, that I can use to track it. Do you have any idea if I can get PERM receipt number from Attorney or USCIS directly to track it from my end?

I think either employer or attorney can only check your PERM status online. By the way, PERM applications processed by DOL, not USCIS.

Hi Anil,
My perm was filed on June 29, 2020 and it is still in “Analyst Review”. And now DOL started approving July third week cases. Wanted to check with you if this is normal or they missed few cases like this.

is there any possibility I will get approval, or they will put audit intentionally for these backlog cases.

Thanks !!

This is critical.for me.as I got very good offer from another employer and want to make decision in coming weeks.
