45 day letter tracker for those who applied LC in NY State

Dear all,

I am starting this thread to track the 45 day letter for people who applied LC in NY state. Please post your information in the following format:

Filing Date:
45-day letter received or not (what date received)
Approval or not (what date approved)

It seems to me most people applied in NY have not received the 45 day letters yet, even though most of us applied in 2001, and 2002. However, people with much later PD in other states have already received the letter. This is very frustrating, is there anything we could do about it?

send a complain fax/email/letter to DOL

attn: Elaine Chao (your fellow chinese), copy to Carlson (chief of Foreign LC), and copy to Philly Backlog center. Do fax and letter, and email.

Do that. It will help draw attention to the unfairness to the New York State severely backlogged cases.

I fedexed a letter to Chao back in early May, have not heard back yet. But I believe if more people from NY stand out, something will happen.

Can you do that? spend one hour this weekend, send all them out Monday. I have not tried NY senator , but you may. Or will you rely on other people do that for you.
 
Sure, I can do that. Are you also from NY? I am actually going to fax and mail tomorrow. I wish more people from NY will stand up.

Receipt date: August 2002 no 45 day letter yet

My receipt came in August 2002 and I still haven't heard from anyone regarding my LCA. My H1B just got extended for the 7th year for 1 more year. Do you think I should be worried that I haven't received my 45 day letter yet. I called Philly but the moron on the phone was clueless. Do you think I should apply from scratch using PERM?

Can you please send me those fax numbers, e-mail addresses so that we can get louder. We need to be loud to be heard.
 
info you need to contact them. fax them a letter

stressing the fact that NY cases should be taken care of because they have priority date, etc. stress the FIFO rule, etc. good luck

DOL, Phily Backlog center fax# 484-270-1600

TO: Director, Philadelphia Backlog Processing Center
FROM: LC applicant, RIR, December 2001, New York
DATE: July 27, 2005
SUBJECT: “FIFO” Rule Violation




Cases filed in Year 2001 in New York State, are untouched, no 45 day letter, while cases filed in other states in year 2002, even 2003, are being processed. This is clearly a violation of the “FIFO” Rule, it confuses people, damages all parties’ confidence in the system.

Please focus resources on the most backlogged cases transferred from New York SWA. Only by entering the year 2001 (RIR, TR) cases first, therefore make it possible to process them first, can FIFO order be restored.

Thanks for your attention to this important matter.

45 Day Letter received By MYFRIEND

PD DATE: APR-2001
RIR/NONRIR : NON-RIR
ETA CASE NUMBER: P-05115-XXXXX
 
Rise, NYers, do something to help yourself

If more new york people come out and do something, we will see some improvement soon. Frankly, we should have done this 3 month ago. California people did a better job, now their cases are being handled in a large quantity now. Crying baby gets milk. "FIFO" rule is published and supposed to be followed, but given the history of DOL, we need to keep reminding them.

Send a letter, or send a fax today. Will help that your case be touched by a human being very soon.

We have come to know that there are cases filed in Year 2001 in New York State which are untouched, no 45 day letter, while cases filed from other states in year 2002 and 2003 are being processed. We request you to consider the FIFO as only way to process the cases.

I would also like to see New York given priority given the fact NY is the most backlogged state.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter."

Thanks
 
Please update your information and voice your concern

New Yorkers,
Please update if you have received your 45 day letter. Or please voice your concern to DOL, PBEC, congressman, or senator, about older cases have not be touched/processed.

Let's try to help ourselves. Thanks.

Hi there

I am new in this forum but I have read some prior messages on many forums.
As I understood many people who applied for LCA in NY in 2002 are still waiting anxious their 45 day letter.
You are saying you have a PD 12/2/03 and have received yours these days.
If it is true it would be awsome.
Congratulations.

My application date is 3/1/04 unfortunately.I still have to wait for awhile.
 
thats is true.i couldnt believe neither do my lawyer.He told me they receive first letter dated in 2003.but if i reply back how long is the delay.im still waiting for perm approval.i didnt reply back this letter yet.
