At a recent meeting with business immigration stakeholders, officials from the Department of Labor’s National Prevailing Wage Processing Center (NWPC) confirmed that the agency is experiencing backlogs of 80 to 90 days in the processing of PERM-related prevailing wage determination (PWD) requests.  PWDs have historically taken no more than 60 days to process, but since last summer, employers and their counsel have noted a steady increase beyond this time-frame.
