California DOL (Regional) Tracking

A question about PERM was answered by attorney Murthy where she mentioned that the dept of labor has been very secretive abt PERM. they have not disclosed any information about it.
which could mean that they are off schedule or it could also mean they are right on schedule and we would see perm by November.
But one thing is for sure - if PERM does come about around this time when the mood is very much anti-immigrants - it is not good - there will be a lot of rejections.

Re: Labor Certified!
Hi itisgcafterall,
Congratulations!
A friend of mine who talked to the attorney about CP (and his consulate is also Chennai), here are the reasons why you should not go for Counselor Processing:
1. You and you wife (if married) don’t get EAD (work permit) card.
2. You should first complete I140 to apply for CP – whereas in 485, you can apply both together and can also apply for EAD card - that means you may be loosing/wasting time the same which you want to gain in CP.
3. Attorney said Chennai is not good, but Mumbai is better.
4. Attorneys usually have a very limited or no control on the CP process.
5. Consulate people have more powers; they can reject your application and can cancel your current visa.
6. From now on Consulates need to interview H1, B1, L1 and other visa people, so they would also get crowed and your Counselor Processing would ultimately get slower, think about it.
7. Attorney said after Sept 2003, 485 would get faster as they would have done processing religious visas – check the web about it or talk to your attorney

Hi itisgcafterall
Congratulations on you labour approval. Could you please tell me did DOL sent an NOF for your case?. Mine was moved to DOL on 07/22/2002 and still pending @ DOL. No NOF's no RFE's so far. I am holding a 3 years master degree from India, and I had 4 years of experience when I filed my labour application. Could you please post here if your case had the same qualification and exp.?.
Best of luck.
Thanks

Re: Re: Labor remanded to state
WaitingInHell,
DOL receipt date was 11/29/02.
So my case has gone back to SESA and my PD
there remains 11/29/01 (SESA PD) and will be
considered as non-RIR. At the moment SESA
is processing 4/26/01(non-RIR). It has been on
this date since the past 1.5 years. So chances
of getting through this CRAP are very slim.

congratulations, itisgcafterall. Can you tell us if you had received a NOF and if so, when did your lawyer reply to the NOF?
Thanks!
