DOL PWD and PERM Processing Times as of March 5

The source article from BAL (Berry Appleman & Leiden) was intended to provide updated Department of Labor (DOL) Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) and PERM labor certification processing times as of March 5. However, the article content as provided contains corrupted or binary-encoded data that cannot be parsed into readable text. PWD and PERM processing times are critical metrics for EB-3 applicants and their employers. The PERM labor certification process is a mandatory step for most EB-3 employment-based green card petitions, and delays at the DOL can significantly extend overall case timelines. Employers and immigration attorneys routinely monitor these processing times to plan filing strategies and manage client expectations. BAL regularly publishes these updates as a service to the immigration community. At this time, the specific processing time data from this article cannot be reported due to the corrupted content. Readers are encouraged to visit the BAL website directly or check the DOL FLAG system for current PERM and PWD processing time information.
