Hi Peter, I work on H-1B for a Biotech and they are applying for a Green Card through PERM for me.The current step it is on is the labor market test, I know the overall economic situation is pretty dire, but my company seems to be doing well and is actively hiring, will the overall economic impact still play a role in the PERM approval ? Thanks

It might because even if the company is doing well and hasn't laid off anyone, the DOL likely will take into account the local, regional, and national economies and question and request more extensive documentation regarding the company's good faith recruitment and the unavailability of US workers and/or simply not believe that there are no qualified US workers.
