Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) Announces Timeline for New Form 9089

The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) announced that it will phase out its legacy PERM Online System on May 15, 2023, at 6:59pm EST. OFLC conducted two webinars in April to provide stakeholders updates on the new PERM Form ETA 9089 that will go into effect on May 16, 2023. Recordings of each webinar (one and two) are available on the OFLC website. Beginning May 16, 2023, OFLC will only accept the revised Form ETA 9089 that is available on the Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) website. The revised ETA Form 9089 was posted to the FLAG system on April 24, 2023, so that filers can begin to review and prepare applications in advance of May 16th. OFLC has also provided a watermarked version of the revised ETA Form 9089 on its website for informational purposes.
