PERM Processing Time 2020 - Archive

USA PERM

Hi @Anil.Gupta,

My employer has filed my PERM and it’s been 70 days almost. I do have file number. When I check on your site with that number it shows me ‘Pending’. Any idea how much more time would it take to get decision ? And also how much time after that would it take to get my I-140 approved if I do it in premium? I have my H1B visa valid till Nov 2020 so getting lil worried. Please help with this.

Thank you !

My PERM application was filed on Sep 21st 2019 . Its almost 4 months ( 120 days ) since its submitted to Atlanta processing center . I checked the status with my employer . its showing “Analyst review” since last 2 weeks .

How long would it take to final decision . My max out is coming very close ( in Feb 2020)

If I have to go back to India , how many days I have to keep behind before my max out date .

Hi @pravin.nerkar

You should be able to get approval pretty soon.

Attorneys suggest to leave 60 days time in max out. People leave a week too and have not seen any issues.

Hi @parvin.nerkar ,

How were you checking status of your perm case ? I have file number with me and I am not able to check it at all. Also did you get the decision ? For me it’s been 2.5 months that my PERM has been filed and do not have any updates.

Hi @Anil.Gupta,

I have received an email from my employer saying 'Your PERM application was successfully filed with DOL today, November 8, 2019. Case number: A-XXXXX-XXXXX ', when do you think probably I should have a decision ? I tried tracking it online but could not find any entry for my file number. In which month you think I should have decision ?

Thanks !

My employer has access to iCERT portal where they can login and check the status . They keep me posted on the status
I do not know any other way to check the status . Please let me know if you know other ways to check the status .
I have been waiting since 4 months . Still shows in Analyst review .

Hi Anil

My PWD was filed on 29th Aug 2019. As per my employer , the lawyer has not yet received anything. As per the labour department site , they have finished the processing of Aug 2019 and now processing the September 2019. Could you please advice how long it takes to get the PWD…

Also at what step the category EB2 or EB3 is decided.

Thank You !

Hi @pravin.nerkar,

Did you hear from your attorney on your Perm status yet ?

12

@pravin Did you got the prem approved? Can you guide which site your employer check the status?

13

No I did not hear any change of status , Its frustrating . My max out is in mid of Feb 2020

14

So Sorry to hear. My Perm submitted on 15-Oct-2019 Im not sure how long i have to wait to get the result. If your max out is mid Feb how you are going to user the approved perm. Don’t we need to extend the H1 6 months before the max out?

Hi @mkvmishra

It is not possible to give any specific case timeline. You should be able to get approval soon.

The i140 filing has the EB2 or EB3 information. Your employer can tell what category they are filing your case in.

Thanks Anil for your answer. I really love this forum.

My perm was filed on 27th December. May max out date is June end 2020.My employer says that typically we should get the perm approval by April.

What would be your approximate suggestions on the same ?

I know about the link which you typically share for perm processing timelines.

Just wanted your approximate opinion on the same
