PERM processing time

[kevinsuper]

My wife was filing PERM to Atlanta center on May 09 under EB2. I am concerned with 2 things.
1) The lawyer was optimistic before filing. We were told it usually takes 90 days to get approval.
2) 2 month after (July 09) lawyer told us the processing looks completely frozen and his clients filing on Dec 08 did not get response yet.
Does that mean "90 days" is not an accurate estimation, also people filing before Dec 08 most likely got response /approval already?

Guys, I'm a new PERM candidate and really confused about "When is the PERM" filed. I have read the documentation on this website.

Step:

1.) Company makes effort to recruit US citizens.
2.) Files with State Employment Agency(SEA) that no US Citizen is available.
3.) SEA reviews and gives 30 days to the employer to report jobs, ads etc.
4.) Company sends report to SEA that no US citizen is available.


When is the PERM filed - in Step 2 or after Step 4

waiting with lots of hope

my priority date is Dec-08.
Although i have not received an answer, it is my daily prayer and I am full of hope.
Friends who filled in Oct-08 have received their approvals in the last 2-3 months.
My lawyer also confirmed they have received approval for processes filed up through Nov-08
I can feel it really close and I hope this note gives all of you hope.
May God's will be done! Stay hopeful.. GM

Waiting with hope

Hi Friends,

My category is EB2, My Employer received email from DOL on 01/15/2009. I dont know about Center but i believe it would be same as other NJ Employer's offices.

I want to know is there anyway i can find out status of my LC online ???

My case is very similar to smthambi. Filed for PERM in Nov '07, received Audit in Jan '08 and responded immediately (within a week or so) but haven't heard from DOL after that. Mine's EB2 category.

Last I heard from the attorney's office is that they have received an approval on 01/23/09 for a case that was filed on 08/07/07 where an Audit was issued.

And mentioned that it was good news since they had not received any approvals for a couple of weeks.

Good Luck everyone!

Hi,
My case is similar to smthambi too...
Eb2 filed on 12/17/2007
Audit replied in Mid-jan 2008
no replies still...

My employer just checked the status, it says its in process...
Does anybody have any pointers so as where/whom can we address our grievances to?

Thanks in advance...
