Permanent Program
For PERM, 73.8 percent of applications were processed within six months, exceeding the target
of 65 percent, though performance declined from the prior years. PERM performance was
affected by the reallocation of resources to eliminate an applications backlog in the H-2B
Temporary Non-agricultural Program. In FY 2008, the DOL will closely monitor
implementation of the Fraud Rule for impact upon PERM processing and redirect resources that
were used to eliminate the H-2B backlog to the PERM program as needed. Keeping these
factors in mind, the target for PERM application processing within six months will be 76% by
FY 2009.
