Labor Processing Times in California Due to 245(i) Part 5

Can you elaborate please?

So when you say 140 has moved ahead by 45 days, could you please specify where it has moved TO ? Is it now Oct 16?
 
No Title

Yes, that is what the lady at SESA said. I also asked her how long it will take to get to Aug 22nd. (My P.D), and she said she had no idea. But it is making progress........
 
GcBlues - EB2 I-140 currently on 26-oct-01

EB-2 I-140 has jumped by 45 days.
INS is processing cases as of 26-OCT-01.

It is definitely good news, but we need much more of the same before our processing times for GC can come anywhere near what is used to be hardly a year ago.
 
labor_takes_forever...sounds good

Just a theory:

It was the 245(i) that was delaying the 140...

for example, look at the list
chakirvyas--not available --(P.D 27-APR-2001)- To DOL 10/4/01

all those 245(i) approved labor cases must have inundated INS at the 140 stage. So the 140 jumping to Oct 26 could indicate a trend that there are less 140s at INS than that used to be....but then you have to clear labor first, and fast :(

GcBlues - I140 possibilities :)

Actually there is a pesimistic angle to the jump in I140\'s as well. The last of the I140\'s were transfered from SESA to DOL on 10/30/01, hence it is very difficult for INS to complete processing of all 245 cases in the I140 stage. Which effectively could lead to the theory that INS has just cleared the files of pre 245 cases to set the stage for a massive load of 245 cases. :-( Now that is not good news.

But the silver lining to the 245 cases is this, most of the 245 applicants were all illegal immigrants hence should be in the non RIR category, DOL is currently processing 18-Apr-01. So the black hole should not have moved into the I140 stage and we could see some rapid movement in the I-140 queue.

Well off course no one know the true story and this is all speculations.
 
It may take more time than normal

I heard from one website, if they combine both 140/485 it may take more time.How we donot know?
 
mmilo

Feel sorry for you. My app was on 04/27/01, got PD 04/30/01,
Approved on 12/28/01
I believe 245(i) petitions would fall mostly under EB other category
and should not clog EB-2/EB-3 queue at least ( provided INS processes
them strictly in that order)
 
I cannot believe this

My petition was filed on 4/26/2001 and got a reciept on 06/18/2001
Not yet transfered to DOL,
I cannot believe this.
 
SESA processing RIR june18th today......

These guys are moving atleast..:))-..I just called SESA and ther are processing june18th for RIR cases..
 
Labour processing after Lay offs.

Is there anyone in this group from Sun(or any other larger company which had lay offs) who had applied for labour recently. Please share your experience. I am sailing in the same boat.
 
No Title

It will take another two month probably. I got one in November and and cleared in january.
 
Hey dasarihp, sorry to hear that

I can understand your frustration totally. Hey, what does the RFE ask (if you feel ok sharing it) ? Do they just want more proof of recruiting efforts of your company?
 
No Title

PD 05/18/01. Don\'t know what they asked, but my attorney sent them a dated copy of newspaper ad. SESA approved the case on 01/10. Don\'t know if it will be treated as Nov. or Jan. application, though my guess is later.
