How does PERM labor certification application processing work?
Berry, Appleman & Leiden files an online application using Form 9089. The application goes directly to the DOL processing center for review. DOL may approve or deny the application, or may opt to order an audit of the application in which DOL requests documentation showing that the required recruitment steps were properly completed, and that the requirements stated for the position are normal in the industry and are necessary to do the job. Berry, Appleman and Leiden collects standard support documents and keeps them in an audit file that can be quickly provided to DOL if an audit is ordered.
