Key Points: The OFLC’s Q3 release includes final determinations from Oct. 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, for programs such as PERM, LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3), H-2A, H-2B, CW-1 and Prevailing Wage. Due to the implementation of the revised ETA-9089 form (aka the Application for Permanent Employment Certification), PERM data is now split into two distinct disclosure files, each with its own record layout. This change reflects updates in how labor certification applications are processed and documented. The OFLC also released a new list of foreign labor recruiters involved in H-2B applications processed or finalized between Oct. 1, 2023, and June 30, 2025. The list can be accessed here. Additional Information: The selected program statistics offer a snapshot of activity in the first half of FY2025 to help stakeholders understand the volume and outcomes of labor certification requests and provide insight into employer demand and certification trends. The public disclosure data and program statistics can be accessed here. This alert has been provided by the BAL U.S. Practice Group. Copyright © 2025 Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP. All rights reserved.
