On September 1, 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) implemented software updates to the Permanent Labor Certification Case Management System. However, there was an unexpected glitch during this update that impacted some applications, resulting in the prohibition of certain information that was entered onto ETA Form 9089. DOL is currently working to correct this issue.
Until these revisions are operational, employers who are unable to complete and file an ETA Form 9089 online should mail in their application to the Atlanta National Processing Center at the following address:
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
Office of Foreign Labor Certification
Atlanta National Processing Center
Harris Tower, Suite 410
233 Peachtree Street
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Employers who attempted to submit an online application between September 1 and September 11 are authorized to provide documentation establishing that information in their ETA Form 9089 was impacted. If you choose to provide documentation with your ETA Form 9089, please include a cover page containing the words “September 2015, CMS Technical Issue” in the center of the page in large letters. Such documentation must be submitted by September 30, 2015, to the following address:
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
Office of Foreign Labor Certification
Attn: CMS Technical Issue Team
Atlanta National Processing Center
Harris Tower, Suite 410
233 Peachtree Street
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
