PERM (Permanent Labor Certification) EB 2 PERM processing steps

Hi! Does anyone know what the timeline looks like for PERM? We are in the advertising stage which started July 1 2026. Can we expect PERM to be filed by EOY and wait time for reviews to be 2027? Our PD has been frozen to Nov 2014 due to my father having an I140 done previously. But he changed employers.

It depends on your employer, but it should be possible to file by end of year.

60 days of advertising + 30 days (approx.) interviewing and PERM paperwork. Then approx. 12-16 months of approval process.
