Backlog Reduction Centers
These cases were filed under the current permanent labor certification program, which the Perm program will replace on March 28, 2005. Once the new Perm program is in effect, employers will no longer be able to file under the current process; however, active cases not filed under Perm will continue to be processed by the Backlog Centers.
(Some of these cases are still being processed in New York, Boston and San Francisco; however, the Backlog Reduction Centers will direct callers to the appropriate office)
