Perm application (or Labor Certification) is the first step for getting Green Card.
Time taken by Department of Labor to review application is around 4 months.
If the application goes into audit state, it takes upto 1 year to get any update from the Department of Labor.
The situation is worst if the application is denied and employers opt for appealing the decision. It takes upto 4 years to get any update from the appeal board BALCA.
Department of Labor now denying the applications even for minute reasons, more non-immigrants need to wait for 4 years to get an update on the labor applications from BALCA.
I request the white house to improve the time required to process the application when the application is in audit or in appeal state, after all justice delayed is justice denied.
