It’s difficult to predict with certainty whether the processing time for PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) labor certification applications will improve in 2024. The processing times are influenced by various factors, including changes in immigration policy, staffing levels at the Department of Labor (DOL), and overall application volume.
In recent years, the DOL has faced backlogs and delays due to increased application numbers and other operational challenges. Efforts to streamline processes and improve efficiency may lead to faster processing times, but these improvements can vary based on resources and administrative priorities.
To stay informed about potential changes in processing times, it’s advisable to regularly check the DOL’s official website and updates regarding PERM processing. Additionally, consulting with an immigration attorney or expert may provide insights tailored to specific cases and any upcoming changes in policies or procedures.
