A PERM decision-window estimator
A free PERM timeline estimator that uses an application’s filing date and the Department of Labor’s published processing data to estimate when a decision may arrive.
- For
- PERM applicants tracking an employer-filed labor certification
- Worth noticing
- The site says its estimate window captured actual decisions in roughly 9 of 10 tests one month out, falling to about half farther ahead.
Field notes
A filing date—or a FLAG case number, which contains the date DOL received the application—feeds the estimate; the page says both remain in the browser. Its employer table covers 12,192 employers with at least three decisions from October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026, showing case counts, certification rates, and median days. The page distinguishes this estimate from individual case status, which remains on DOL's FLAG search.
