Hi everyone,
Has anyone with a PERM filed in August 2024 received approval yet?

My PERM was filed on August 6, 2024 and is still in “Analyst Review.” Trying to understand current timelines.

A few quick questions:
1. After PERM certification, can the I-140 be filed immediately or are there additional steps?
2. What are typical I-140 processing times under regular processing?
3. Is premium processing worth considering if paying out of pocket?

1. I was March 2024 and mine was approved in July 2025. Can’t comment of Aug’24 but just posted mine if that helps in any way.
2. Minimal steps to prepare for attorney and just some signatures from your end, all can be done within 1 month. Regular processing is slow, no clue but definitely around 8-12 months from what I have seen.
3. If firm is not paying for PP, it’s 100% worth it spending that extra $$$ out of pocket. You get decision within 15 business days and it’s peace of mind in this economy.

My perm was also filed Aug 2024 and still waiting approval. We should hear some updates this month 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Good luck

I recommend you x3000 to go for PP even if out of pocket. In the current environment you can't confirm or know if you would be employed for the time it takes to approve an i140

Thanks for the recommendation

My PERM was filed on August 12. Still in AR. Not sure wtf is going on. DOL was off half of the month of December. Hopefully they will pick it up this month. Last month only 6000 cases got processed and there are about 8000 cases left for August 2024.

My perm was approved on 01/09. You can guestimate your approval using permupdate . com website.

Mine was filed August 5 2024 and still for AR. Depends on your Company name too, i think. So if you work at Apple and filed on August 2024, chances are you get approved first.

Certified folks. When is your company filing for the i140 and are you considering premium processing?

Many people do not believe in planning for the future and experience no growth or change. It is important to overcome excuses and pursue new opportunities for personal and professional development. Consider joining an investment team to achieve rapid profit growth.

Following. My PERM is also from Aug 24 and still waiting

Any update?

Why not process i-140 and i-485 at the same time? The VISA bulletin says those PD of October 2024 can now file their i-485.

*provided you have a PERM approved.

Any update op?

Yes was approved 4 weeks ago

OP, did you get an update on your PERM? How long did the attorneys take to file I-140?

Yes approved 4 weeks ago. Attorneys are working to file my i140. They said it may take them upto 2 more weeks. I’m planning to pay out of pocket for premium
