I know new perms are paused, how was the perm that filed last year before tech major layoffs? Especially PERM filed during 2022 Are getting denied audits increased? Company with/without layoffs are all welcome to provide dp.
I read on a law firm’s website that PERMs don’t need to be paused after layoffs. Company needs to prove that they notified all US citizens that were part of layoff with similar role and same location that the PERM position is available. If they do this, they can still apply for new PERMs. There will be more audits, but they may still get approved. I emailed my attorney if they have seen any denials on PERMs applied last year.
Did Amazon actually notify US citizens that PERM positions are available? That seems like a stretch to me.
If they want to apply for any more PERMs within 6 months after layoffs, they have to notify the laid off US citizens that there is a position available. Either they notify, or they don’t start any new PERMs at all. The PERMs that were filed before layoffs don’t have this requirement.
PERM is filed only after recruitment phase is complete. If you can’t find anyone suitable during recruitment then you are good to go. Doesn’t matter if layoffs happen afterward. You don’t need to pause PERM.
It might hard to prove can’t find suitable during layoffs? Leading to audit? Especially SWE
No, it’s already proven that there was no one suitable during recruitment. Layoffs don’t matter, unless they happened *during* recruitment.
New Perms paused till August. Fragomen said that already filed perms are unlikely to be effected, there is a greater chance of getting scrutinised but happen rarely.
What if labor test in ongoing ?
Recruitment for the labour test is paused till June.
Google perms are paused
Amazon Perms are Paused
Op: Did your company attorney create any special documents for layoff while your recruitment was on going?

Not sure. There were some layoffs in my company. I thought they would pause my PERM application.
