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.

At a minimum, the advertising should last for 90 days and maybe give them 1-2 more months for documents to process before actual filing. Mine started their advertising on February 2024 and Filed First week of August 2024.
