The determination expires in 13 days (2026-09-20), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.
Green-card follow-through: 59%
Of 46 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 19 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 498 days.95% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
