Recruitment to Filing
Keep Every Recruitment Deadline and DOL Filing Window in One Place
A PERM case runs on strict DOL timing for months, and one missed step can force the whole recruitment process to restart. US Immigration AI tracks every required step and its timing in one case file, so your team always knows what's done and what's next.

What's Included
What the Platform Handles for PERM Cases
- Recruitment Step Tracking
Tracks the state workforce agency job order, both Sunday newspaper ads, and the additional recruitment methods that professional occupations require, each against its own DOL deadline. Your team sees what is done, what is pending, and what is due next.
- Prevailing Wage Requests
Submits and tracks prevailing wage determination requests without manual follow up. Your team knows the moment a determination comes back and how long it stays valid before recruitment has to catch up to it.
- Proof of Recruitment Collection
Collects tear sheets, job order confirmations, and applicant records inside one secure case file. Every proof of recruitment stays organized instead of scattered across inboxes.
- ETA 9089 Drafting
Fills the labor certification application from data your firm already collected at intake. No one retypes job duties, wage details, or employer information twice.
- Filing Window Alerts
Flags the exact day the required filing window opens once recruitment and the quiet period close. Cases move the moment they are eligible to file, not whenever someone remembers.
- Audit Ready Recordkeeping
Keeps recruitment records retained and organized for the required retention window. If DOL selects a case for audit, the file is already built and a lawyer signs off on what goes out.

The PERM Filing Timeline, Deadline by Deadline
Prevailing Wage Request
Your firm requests a wage determination from DOL before recruitment starts. The platform tracks the request and flags the determination's validity window, typically one year from issuance, once it comes back.
Recruitment Period
The state workforce agency job order, both Sunday newspaper ads, and, for professional occupations, DOL's additional recruitment methods all run in the order and timing DOL expects. The platform tracks each step against its own deadline.
Quiet Period
A mandatory waiting period follows the last recruitment step before the case can be filed. The platform marks this period on the case timeline so no one files early by mistake.
Filing Window
The ETA 9089 has to be filed inside a set window once the quiet period ends. The platform flags the day that window opens and tracks how much time remains.
DOL Review or Audit
DOL certifies the case, denies it, or selects it for audit. If audited, the recruitment records the platform has kept organized are ready to produce.
Certification to I-140 Handoff
Once certified, the case moves into the I-140 filing within its validity window. Client and case data carry over, so nothing gets re-entered for the next filing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the platform determine PERM eligibility, or does an attorney?
An attorney does. The platform tracks recruitment steps, deadlines, and documentation, but eligibility and legal strategy are decided by your firm's licensed attorneys.
Does an attorney review the case before it is filed?
Yes. Nothing goes out, a recruitment document or the final filing, without your attorney's sign off first.
Does the platform file the labor certification with the Department of Labor?
No. It prepares the recruitment record and the ETA 9089 for filing, but your attorney makes the final review and files the case.
What happens after the labor certification is approved?
It moves straight into the I-140 filing on the same case file, so your team isn't re-entering client details for the next step.
How does document collection work for PERM cases?
Clients and staff upload through one portal instead of email, and the platform sorts everything by recruitment step so your team can see what's missing before the quiet period even starts.
Is client data secure?
Yes. The platform maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control, and audit logs, and case files are encrypted in transit and at rest. AI processing runs on zero data retention, meaning files are read only to complete a task, never used to train models, and never shared across firms.
Does the platform track the prevailing wage request?
Yes. Your team gets a flag the moment the determination returns, so recruitment never starts against a wage that's about to expire.
What does it cost?
$97 per application, or $997 per month for the all-in-one plan.
Are DOL audits supported?
Yes. If DOL selects a case for audit, your attorney pulls a complete file instead of rebuilding one under deadline pressure.
