PERM processing time calculator
A free PERM timeline estimator for your Green Card path: prevailing wage (optional), PERM filing, I-140, and I-485-style ranges. PERM (ETA-9089) uses DOL disclosure median and upper-range days when available. Results are illustrative. Not legal advice.
Timeline calculator
Choose where your clock starts, add your filing month, then get stage-by-stage date ranges.
DOL disclosure: DOL PERM disclosure FY2026 Q1 (partial). Median and upper-range PERM days from published data. Other stages use fixed ranges or estimates.
How this PERM timeline calculator works
- Pick whether your clock starts at PWD (includes recruitment placeholders) or PERM (ETA-9089) filing month.
- Optional flags adjust the model: PERM audit and I-140 premium processing.
- The PERM stage uses DOL disclosure statistics when present; see the note under the calculator card for the active disclosure period.
- For PERM analytics and charts (medians, outcomes, filings), use DOL disclosure trends.
How long does PERM processing take?
Government processing times change by period and case. This site does not predict your adjudication date. Use the ranges as a planning model, then confirm on official DOL and USCIS processing-time tools. Our homepage summarizes PERM processing times and links to the same calculator and indicative stage ranges.
