Whatz PERM Internal ID!

For every PERM case number for review, there would be a dedicated HTML internal E9089 page associated with it. As shown in the below snapshot from the USDOL iCERT website, all certified cases have an associated HTML internal page and clicking the HTML tag, the certified case will open the Internal page of the respective case number.

The cases which are in Final Review or under process the internal Page will be a blank default page - without any data. And for all certified or Denial cases, this will be updated with the respective data per the applicant case details.

Internal HTML page

If the HTML E9089 file is all filled up with the case information and it's not certified, it means the case is moved to Denied or in some cases to Audit. So this is the only information we get from the Internal Page. 

You may get the same information for Attorney too. Checking the internal ID by going through all these processes is for impatient people like me., Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm the status of these denied cases, it will be notified only to your Attorney by mail - postal service. 

Please note as mentioned above that nowhere in this HTML Internal page they provide the Status of the particular case number.


How to check your Internal ID?

Ok, here is how to check for your Internal ID

1. Check for the Certified Case numbers closer to your case number, it would be ideal to check for a couple of certified cases closest to you(because sometimes rarely I noticed few Internal IDs go out of sync after a couple of hundred sequences of numbers).
2. Open the HTML page of the certified case, Copy the last 7 (some cases 8 number) from this HTML page URL, 
3.  Add or subtract the appropriate number from that certified Internal ID case, depending upon the PERM Case number differences. 
4. The resulted number would be the Internal ID of the Case number you are looking for.

For Example, if certified case number closest is 
A-18123-2222222  and opening its respective HTML page,

HTML:> pjr.doleta.gov/index.cfmeve.........................Cert&doc_id=3&visa_class_id6&id=1234567

And from the above URL, the last 7 digits-  
1234567 is the Internal ID of case number A-18123-2222222.

• And if your case number is A-18123-2222224, then add 2 to the above Internal ID => (1234567 + 2)
• if your case number is A-18123-2222220,then sub 2 from the above Internal ID => (1234567  - 2)

Change only the Internal ID with computed new internal ID and use the same URL of the certified case

will open the Internal Page with the new Internal ID... and you can check for blank or updated data information.
