How DOL processing affects THE OPTIONS CLEARING CORPORATION

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 THE OPTIONS CLEARING CORPORATION starts with "T", cases filed by this sponsor will typically be reviewed when the DOL is roughly 77% 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.
