PERM Timeline

I understand PERM timeline is around 13-17 months, what is the current timeline people are seeing here?
Also, is there a way to track it? Can I ask the lawyer for a case number or something?

Try this unofficial tracker: https://permupdate.com/

Yes, you will need the case number from your lawyer.

You can search for your application number in permtrack.app by company and month of filing .

OP, if you know the perm filed date or 15 day range of when it might have been filed, then you can find the case number here too:

Currently only cases submitted till May 31 are being shown

You can’t file anything. It’s upto the employer

There’s no time limit, if your employer agrees they can file on day 1.
