DOL Backlogs Mount |

The Department of Labor announced on July 30, 2009, that they are currently working on PERM applications filed on or before November 2008. Given the astronomically high rate of random audits, which puts employers and workers in danger of having to wait about 22 months if the application is audited for any reason, the question remains why the same Department of Labor that promised PERM adjudications in 45 days when the program began in March 2005, now shamelessly announces a mounting backlog. A random audit can be for little or no reason; but the sting is still as virulent, up to two years of waiting. For example, because the PERM application is an online application, no supporting documents are filed with the application. Thus, the DOL may request a copy of a physician's medical license or degree and if that occurs, the case goes into the Audit queue.
