The ETA Form 9089 is the official PERM application, filed by the employer through DOL's FLAG portal. The case number appears at the top of the form and is your identity inside the system.
The case number format
The current format is G-200-YYDDD-NNNNNN. For example: G-200-26061-672880.
G-200 is the prefix for the current system (FLAG). Older cases may carry G-100 (the previous iCERT system). 'YY' is the two-digit submission year. 'DDD' is the day of the year (1–366). 'NNNNNN' is the sequence number of the case on that day.
In the example G-200-26061-672880: it was filed in 2026, on day 61 (i.e., March 2, 2026), and was case number 672880 of that day.
Where to find yours
The employer (or attorney) receives the case number as soon as the ETA 9089 is filed successfully. As a beneficiary you can request it from whoever is handling your case — there is no direct USCIS lookup because PERM lives outside USCIS.
With the case number in hand, you can compute your personalized estimate on the PermQueue home page.
