PERM EB-3 최신 통계 2026: OFLC Releases Q3 FY2026 Public Disclosure Data

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has published its quarterly transparency report covering Public Disclosure Data and Selected Program Statistics for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026. This release provides comprehensive data on labor certification programs including the PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) system, which is a critical step for most EB-3 employment-based green card applicants. The Q3 FY2026 data offers insight into approval and denial rates for PERM applications, processing time trends, and the volume of applications filed across various occupational categories relevant to EB-3 Skilled Worker and Unskilled Worker classifications. Employers and immigration attorneys closely monitor these statistics to gauge the current state of the labor certification pipeline. For EB-3 applicants and their sponsoring employers, this data is particularly significant as PERM approval is typically the first major milestone in the green card process. Delays or increased audit rates at the PERM stage can add months or years to an already lengthy immigration timeline, especially for nationals of high-demand countries. The public disclosure data also allows for analysis of industry sectors with the highest EB-3 filing volumes, geographic distribution of applications, and wage level compliance trends. These statistics help practitioners identify patterns and anticipate processing challenges. Applicants are encouraged to review the full dataset on the DOL OFLC Performance Data page and consult with qualified immigration counsel to understand how current processing trends may affect their individual cases.
