PERM disclosure trends
Interactive charts from our aggregated DOL bundle. Each period matches a disclosure release we ingest. Some periods cover a full fiscal year; newer drops can be partial (for example FY Q1 only). See the callout below each section where it matters.

Monthly filings by outcome
Each bar is a calendar month by when the case was received. We count each case once across our files. The stack shows outcomes in the disclosure data: certified, denied, withdrawn, other decided, or still open here if no decision date is listed yet (common for very new receipts). These are published disclosure counts, not a full DOL total.
