The Department of Labor (DOL) handles several filings relevant for the employment-based immigration process. While the DOL does not provide receipt numbers and processing updates like USCIS, the legal team will always keep you updated on the status of cases processing. We’ve provided general timelines for different DOL filings below:
- Labor Condition Application (LCA): 7-10 business days
- Prevailing Wage Requests: 7-9 months
- PERM (ETA-9089): 12-14 months
If you would like to check DOL processing times, you can visit the DOL processing times reporting tool here: https://flag.dol.gov/processingtimes. If you’ve noticed that the case has been processing with the DOL past the current reported timelines, please contact the legal team at CIP PC directly by posting in the Communication Center.
💡 Government processing times are subject to change, regardless of timelines previously reported. Please contact your legal team for questions on government processing timelines.
