Receipt number for PERM

The email address of the person who is petitioning for you should receive an email after the application has been submitted. You go through the verification steps in the email and you are given a receipt number that you can then check online.
 
this reply was on the Atlanta tracker link which may help too...


After PERM application is filed, a sponsorship e-mail is sent by DOL (usually with a few hours to two or three days) to the employer (not the attorney) asking the employer to click on a link which takes the employer to a webpage with a sponsorship verification questionnaire. The 4 questions in the questionnaire are:

1. Are you, or do you work for, the employer referenced above?

2. Are you aware that an Application for Permanent Employment Certification was filed on your behalf?

3. Do you have an opening for a (job title) in (location) ?

4. Are you sponsoring (worker's name) for this position?

Note: The email also references the position by the OES title.

Failure to respond (online) promptly to these questions by the employer will result in a phone call from DOL to the employer (usually within a week or two from the date of PERM filing) on which a DOL representative will ask the above four questions. The employer's contact person will need to be able to take the call and communicate in English and must respond affirmatively to all the 4 questions for the case to continue processing. If sponsorship check fails, PERM case will be automatically denied by DOL.

Note: Experience of forum members indicates that if a PERM case does not receive the sponsorship e-mail from DOL, it usually gets denied within around two weeks from the date of filing. This denial is usually automatically generated by the PERM system due to some very basic technical error in the PERM filing. If your PERM case successfully passes all the inital automated checks performed by the PERM system, then expect your employer to receive a sponsorship e-mail questionnaire. In summary, employer not getting this sponsorship e-mail after PERM filing is indicative of a sure-shot automatic PERM denial.

Yes, I'm an employer and got the same error while submitting the application but I did get the email and submited the verification.
 
Re: Filing Number

The receipt number is created after the first page is drafted on the ETA system. You initially receive a T# while drafting the case, and then you receive an A or a C # based on where the area of employment is (same number as the "T" number, just a different letter in front of the number i.e. T-01234-56789 would be drafting number and then C-01234-56789 would be the filing number.)

After filing the employer/contact person listed in section "D" of the application will receive a series of 3 emails. The first email will just state that the case has been received and submitted for processing. The 2nd email will contain a link to which the employer must click on & respond to confirming he/she is aware of the filing, etc. The 3rd email confirms that the DOL received the questionnaire and that processing will resume on the case.

However, the DOL has been horrible about this lately, and is calling employers sometimes instead of emailing them for whatever reason (problems with the server/system, I don't know. They say they're working on it... hmmph.)

Sincerely,
