US H-1B and PERM processing resumes after FLAG outage: Here’s what employers must check immediately
The US Department of Labor has resumed H-1B and PERM processing following a temporary FLAG system outage caused by a government shutdown. Employers can now submit new LCAs and labour certification requests while monitoring pending cases for updates. OFLC confirmed the portal is fully operational, but backlogs may slow adjudication. Employers are advised to verify documentation, prevailing wages, and contact information to avoid delays. The system also supports SeasonalJobs.dol.gov listings for temporary employment programs.
