the current status of PERM applications

According to a DOL report, the current status of PERM applications are as follows:

Total Pending, Including Pending Appeals: 65,800

Audit Cases: 24,600 (37% of its workload)

Final Review Cases (Not Just Clean-Cut Cases but All the Initial Review Stage Cases): 37,500 (57% of its workload)

Supervised Recruitment Cases: 130

Request for Review and Request for Reconsideration Cases: 3,000 (9% of its workloads)

The Final Review statistics can be misleading since it includes all the pending cases which have yet to be determined for either audit or denial or approval. The statistics in this report fails to show the statistics of pending clean-cut cases as separate from all the audits, denials, and withdrawal cases.

Accordingly, the audit and denial cases can be much higher than what it shows in this report and the approval rate can be much lower than its report in Final Review Cases. The audit and denial rate statistics have yet to be released. http://www.greencardapply.com/news/news09/news09_1021.htm
