What's Included

What the Platform Handles for PERM Cases

PERM cases move through a wage request, recruitment, and a narrow filing window, each with its own DOL rule. Here's what the platform tracks and drafts at each stage.
  • Recruitment Step Tracking
  • Prevailing Wage Requests
  • Proof of Recruitment Collection
  • ETA 9089 Drafting
  • Filing Window Alerts
  • Audit Ready Recordkeeping
The PERM Timeline

The PERM Filing Timeline, Deadline by Deadline

PERM does not run on a single deadline. It runs on a sequence, and each stage has its own required timing that has to hold up if DOL ever asks for proof. Here is how the platform tracks a case through that sequence.

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.

Before and After

  • Recruitment steps tracked on spreadsheets and sticky notes.

  • Prevailing wage requests followed up by phone and email.

  • Proof of recruitment scattered across inboxes and filing cabinets.

Why It Works

Built Around DOL's Actual Rules

The platform tracks PERM's real recruitment and filing sequence, not a generic case timeline bent to fit it.

Attorney Review at Every Filing Step

Every recruitment document and every filing waits for a lawyer's review before it leaves the system.

One Platform From Recruitment to I-140 Handoff

Case data carries from the wage request through certification into the I-140 filing, so nothing is re-entered.
