On December 1, 2024, the Department of Labor’s Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) confirmed that the legacy Permanent Online System, which provided public access to permanent labor certification applications and final determinations, is fully decommissioned and no longer available.

OFLC explained that the Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) System has been implemented to replace the legacy Permanent Online System, improve service, and modernize the administration of foreign labor certification programs. Pending applications will continue to be processed, but new users will be redirected to the FLAG System.
