DOL needs to speed up to decrease the processing timeline of PERM applications to 60-90 days instead of 230 days.
DOL needs to speed up to decrease the processing timeline of PERM applications to 60-90 days instead of 230 days.
The Issue
PERM(Program electronic review management) falls under the department of Labor (DOL) Atlanta office. When PERM was enacted it was made to speed up the processing of perm application and reduce the application time frame to 60-90 days but since the last 8 months the wait has been longer than 7-8 months and upto 18 months for some people. This has hampered a lot of lives with people living away from their families. People who work and pay taxes and follow the right route to achieve the American Dream should not be tortured in this manner.
