Does anyone have any stats on the PERM success rates?

i.e.

% of applications approved
% of applications audited
% of applications denied

Here are some stats for 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively
(in % and rounded):

Certified= 0, 41, 48
Certified-Expired= 79, 36, 31
Denied= 16, 18, 13
Withdrawn= 5, 4, 8

labor denial

Thanks ALOT design30!
One more thing, what do you adviced to file once again from same company or other?

Thanks,

My PD was denied on May2009 due to lack of documents requested by DOL after two years of waiting. I determined to find out the true reason of denial myself so I met three local attornies for consultations.
what I was told from all three lawyers was

1. my previous lawer didn't provide the paperwork requested by DOL
2. it is so much quicker to start the whole process again rather than filing the appeal

hope this helps.

honestly, I don't know which company you should file a new application w/.
I will bring all the documents including denial letter to your lawyer (or lawyers) and get consultation before making decision.

that's utter stupidity that they have left the previous filed cases and are processing Nov cases.

[uday85]

Confused

Does anyone understand how some people with November application dates are getting their Perm approved when others (non-audited) older months are still pending? On top of that the govt web-site is still showing June applications as being currently processed. I would really appreciate if anyone can explain what's going on.

Thanks
