How much faster will the new PERM system?
Compared with the RIR process which takes somewhere from several months to several years, the cases under the PERM system, if not selected for further review, will be approved within 45 to 60 days from the filing date, which is substantially faster process due to the combination of pre-filing recruitment, using an automated system for processing applications (even for applications submitted by mail) and the elimination of the SWAs previous role in the recruiting process. I anticipate that we should get the labor certification approval within 6 months from the start to the approval.
