> H-1B petitions are still being processed since there's no labor market test associated with these but PERM-based green card applications could be put on hold because a labor market test is central to this process and layoffs by the sponsoring employer can result in the end of this process.
Can you please explain what this means? I'm in the process of changing my work location with the same employer, and uncertain how this could affect me since we've to restart the PERM process. I've my I-140 approved and H1b approval till 2023.

But I am not sure how this affects the situation.
