DOL Issues Update on PERM Regulation

In meetings with AILA's Department of Labor(DOL) liaison committee, the DOL confirmed that it still anticipates publishing the PERM regulation by the end of this year and scheduling the implementation of the program for 120 days thereafter. DOL will schedule four training sessions around the country, prior to the implementation date. GT attorneys have been participating in a DOL working group to review the DOL proposed program.

We will continue to monitor this issue and keep you updated.
