- PERM Tracker listed all 215 pending Adobe filings as “APPLICATION ON HOLD” on September 25, 2026.
- The status covered 100% of Adobe’s pending PERM cases; the tracker showed 2,070 such cases nationwide.

PERM Tracker listed all 215 pending labor-certification filings for Adobe as “APPLICATION ON HOLD” on September 25, 2026. The status covered every case in the tracker’s company tally.
That amounted to 100% of the company’s pending PERM cases. The tracker separately listed 2,070 cases nationwide with the same status.

The figures describe cases at a labor-certification stage, not a final green card decision. They do not establish that workers’ permanent residence applications were denied.
A report published September 26 cited the tracker’s figures. The count is a snapshot, not a stated projection of how long the hold will last.
The hold applies before a green card petition moves forward
The Department of Labor’s PERM process covers labor certification, a step used in many employment-based green card cases. Employers typically complete that stage before filing an I-140 immigrant petition.
That sequence separates the cases in the tally from the later petition stage. It also means the reported status does not, by itself, describe an approval or denial of a green card.
When a labor-certification case is on hold, an employer usually cannot move to the next permanent-residence step until the hold lifts. The delay can affect the timeline for workers whose cases depend on that filing.
The number reported is a count of pending PERM filings, not a count of completed green cards. The tally also does not say whether the cases share circumstances beyond their listed status.
For workers, the practical effect described by the reporting is a blocked next step. The status alone does not establish what an individual employee or employer should expect in a particular case.
The tally gives no reason or timetable for the pause
The figures came without an identified explanation from the Department of Labor. The reporting also did not include a company statement explaining why the cases were listed as on hold.
No duration accompanied the September 25 snapshot. It does not say when the status began, when it might change, or whether the same hold applies to cases outside the tracker’s count.
The tally also does not report that any of the listed cases had been denied. A hold and a denial are different reported outcomes; the figures establish only the former.
The distinction limits what can be concluded from the 215-case number. It describes the status recorded for those pending filings on that date, not the eventual outcome of each worker’s immigration process.
A separate USCIS court alert does not explain these cases
USCIS issued an alert on August 28, 2026, concerning the federal court order in Red Eagle Law, L.C. v. Edlow. That order addressed certain adjudication-hold policies in a different immigration context.
The court action does not explain the labor-certification status recorded for the company’s cases. The two matters concern different processes, and the court order is not identified as the reason for this tally.
The reported snapshot remains specific: 215 pending company labor-certification filings carried the hold status on September 25. This article provides general information and is not legal advice. Consult a qualified immigration attorney about your specific case.
