We realized after my company filed the ETA Form 9089 that there was a mistake on the application. Can it be corrected after filing?

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) does not allow typographical error corrections on a filed ETA Form 9089.

  • Once the form is submitted, the DOL generally treats the filing as final.
  • If an error is discovered, the employer may have to withdraw the original application and submit a new, corrected Form 9089, but this is only possible when the recruitment advertisements used for the original filing are still valid.

Thus, there is no formal amendment process for minor mistakes after filing; the remedy is to start a new application after withdrawal.
