I think OFLC should be congratulated on a very productive year.

This is only the second time that PERM certifications have exceed 100k, even in a full FY.

August saw what is probably a record number of certifications for a single month at more than 17k. If repeated, FY2018 would become a record year. The precious best is FY2016, with 115,933 certifications.

Thanks, Spec!

So looking at numbers there appears to be zero chance of horizontal spillover for EB2-I in FY 2019. What's the latest EB2: EB3 ratio for ROW Spec? ( I am assuming 60:40). Is that valid anymore?
