To hire a foreign employee, employers should get approval from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), which is called the PERM Labor Certification. The PERM certification is the first step an employer should meet before permanently recruiting a foreign national.
When submitting a PERM application, not a few are delayed, and their progress is not even known. Tracking the processing time of your PERM application is very important to know its progress. Unfortunately, USCIS, as one of the immigration authorities, does not provide the facility to track the progress of PERM applications.
Thanks to Trackitt, you can now track the progress of your PERM applications, which allows you to easily estimate when your PERM applications will be processed. If you want to know more about how Trackitt works and how you can track the progress of your PERM application, let’s see our post below!
What is Trackitt?
Trackitt is an online tool that allows you to track the progress of your immigrant applications, like the PERM application. To track the progress of the PERM application, you will have to share and discuss the progress of your application with other applicants.
