Electronic Notification of PERM Letters

DOL, Nov. 1, 2016- "The Atlanta National Processing Center (ANPC) will begin issuing PERM notification letters via e-mail beginning December 1, 2016. Electronic notification e-mails will ensure PERM stakeholders receive ETA Form 9089 application determination notifications in a timely, cost effective manner without 'in the mail' delivery delays.

To ensure this electronic notification delivery convenience works for all PERM stakeholders, please add sr.processsing@dol.gov and plc.atlanta@dol.gov to your Address Book or Safe List within your e-mail system(s) to avoid being filtered as SPAM. In addition, if e-mail addresses for the authorized representative or employer have changed, please notify either sr.processing@dol.gov (Supervised Recruitment cases) or plc.atlanta@dol.gov (all other correspondence). Please provide the case number along with the updated contact information.

Stakeholders will receive the following letters/notifications via e-mail:

• Audit Notification Letters
• Denial Notification Letters
• Requests for Information Letters
• Additional Audit Information Requests
• Withdrawal Letters
• Notices of Decisions from Appeals

NOTE: Certified ETA Form 9089 PERM application letters will not be sent electronically due to the certification's security paper requirements currently in place with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Electronic Receipt of PERM Audit Responses, Requests for Information, and Responses to Notices of Decisions for Appeals: The ANPC will receive ETA Form 9089 audit responses and responses to Requests for Information, Additional Audit Information Requests, and Notices of Decisions for Appeals sent via e-mail on December 1, 2016. To ensure your submission is received with no issues, i.e., non-compliance with delivery size limitations, please ensure each e-mailed response is no larger than 20MB.

If your e-mail response is larger than 20MB, please separate the response into two or more documents of less than 20MB in size.

For example, if submitting more than one document in response to an audit notification due to size restrictions, please ensure you indicate in the Subject Line of the e-mail that there are multiple submissions. For example, _Audit Response_1 of 3.

In addition, when submitting an electronic response, please keep in mind the following tips:

• Do not combine multiple audit responses for different cases in one submission packet.
• Direct any questions via e-mail to sr.processing@dol.gov (Supervised Recruitment inquiries) or plc.atlanta@dol.gov (all other inquiries) and include the case number in the subject line.
• For audit responses specifically; scan, tab, or clearly identify the documentation into the following categories:
  1. Cover Letter
  2. Recruitment Report and any other supporting documentation
  3. Business Necessity and other supporting documentation
  4. Recruitment Content, including copies of newspaper advertisements, Notice of Filing, Job Order, and professional advertisements
  5. Copy of Audit Letter (if applicable)
  6. Resumes, including any applications, evaluations, and other supporting documentation
  7. Prevailing Wage (if applicable)
  8. Affidavits (if applicable)
