Mailroom Backlog
ICARUS
Can you please give us a little more detail on the mailroom situation at DBEC. It looks like it is taking couple of months or so for the original LC to be mailed out after certification.
- Is there any talk about making this process a little bit more efficient?
- How long is it taking the mailroom clerk to send out a certified LC?
-
, Will it help if those of us who live close by DBEC to come and volunteer ???
Thanks
PS/Disclaimer: The last statement was meant as a joke. Those of you who get offended by the last statement, I apologize. Lately, people in this forum are being extremely aggravated on very minor things, and I sure don't want to make any enemies.

Congratulations jeffdoc97! Is you case an EB-2 or EB-3? My case is from Texas too and I have yet to hear from the BEC after submitting results of recruitment efforts a month ago. The wait is getting more painful to deal with everyday.
DOL Concern with Abuse of the LC Verification Procedure
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) labor certification Backlog Elimination Centers (BEC) have an eMail address available for requesting a screenshot of the date a pending labor certification was filed. This system was begun so that pending labor certification cases could be confirmed to establish eligibility for H1B extensions beyond the six-year limit. The system is apparently being abused by those sending requests that are clearly unrelated to H1B extensions. This misuse is causing delays for bona fide H1B extension applicants.
The Philadelphia BEC reported in July 2005 that they are receiving eMails requesting the case confirmation screen even when the beneficiary is not in H1B status. As a result, the Philadelphia BEC may be delayed in sending the screenshots for legitimate H1B extension cases. The Philadelphia BEC has requested that the eMail address only be used to request screenshots for proof for one-year incremental H1B extensions only.
We presume that people have been utilizing this eMail address simply to verify that a case has reached the BEC. It is certainly understandable that having cases in an untraceable system creates anxiety and even distrust between employer / employee and client / attorney. There are also times when the filing date and proof of the filing date are vital. This is true in cases filed prior to April 30, 2001, for 245(i) qualification. Thus, people may be seeking the proof of filing for purposes of establishing 245(i) eligibility based upon the labor certification filing. The verification system was established, however, for the limited purpose of H1B extensions while the data is being entered into the system. This restriction should be recognized and respected to help everyone in the long run.
On a related but separate matter, we at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy suggest that the DOL may wish to consider permitting verification through the eMail address or another system for other genuine purposes for those who need some verification or are anxious about pending cases. Of course, after the DOL issues all the 45-day continuation letters, the need for the eMail address for H1B extensions is eliminated. The excessive demand for eMail verifications is likely delaying the issuance of the 45-day letters and case processing by the BECs, so it is best to cooperate and use the system sparingly for legitimate cases.

RIR EB3 or PERM EB2
EAD can be applied only along with or after applying 485. And for March 2005 EB3, there is going to be long time before geting LC approved. My personal opinion is : go for PERM EB2 if you have a clean certifiable case. Even if EB2 gets retrogressed in December still it may be ahead of EB3 as months go by.

They should post the figures
Instead of writing this nonsense they should post the facts and figures. What they are doing from the last one year in the Backlog centers.How many LC's were cleared. Why they are not following FIFO. what happened to SWA cases etc. Murthy.com should come out with their figures, how many of their clients got LC's and time lines. This story is the imagination of Shela Murthy.Then nobody will abuse the system.

Order of processing
Hi Guys,
Sorry for being a such a novice on this topic, but could you please tell me order in which BEC is processing the cases. My case was filed under EB2 category. My PD is Aug 2001. RD is May 2003. Haven't received 45 days notice, but I noticed that people with much later PD are receiving 45 days notices or even labor cert approvals. Tried reading previous threads, but couldn't find relevant info. Could you please shed some light.
