How DOL processing affects American Psychiatric Association

The Department of Labor processes PERM applications in two layers: first by submission month (oldest pending month first), then alphabetically by sponsoring employer name within that month. Because American Psychiatric Association starts with "A", cases filed by this sponsor will typically be reviewed when the DOL is roughly 4% through the alphabet for their filing month.

DOL is currently reviewing cases filed in October 2024, processing about 218 cases per business day across all employers.
