I just got email saying my PERM went into audit and they cant disclose any details, as they need details from the company, and not me personally. How much of a delay is this going to cause? Has anyone had experience with this?
Can be delayed by a year easily assuming you actually pass it.
6 months to 1 year
6-18 months
My perm got audited It delayed the whole process by 7 months
Statistically, a PERM audit will make the process longer by 5-10 months. It depends on the case. It could be your employer previously filed a bogus application for another person. Or it could be that your application was randomly selected for audit.
About 3 months
What happens if the h1-b visa expires before audit completes?
if h1b expiration is after 12 months of submission of perm, you can extend it. otherwise, leave the country in order to recapture h1b time to make it expire after 12 months
Perm filed feb 2019, audited in july 2019, still waiting to hear. As per icert, they are looking at cases filed in january 2019 and went to audit. This date had been progressing by a month until last month and it should have said february 2019 this time, but stayed on january 2019.
Its taking a little more than 7 months for audit cases so far this year.
What is your country of birth ?
It doesn’t matter for PERM. The priority date is burned in your application when they receive the PERM application.
