LC Approvals from PBEC ( new)

IT looks like there is no use of just fighting on retrogression alone you have to raise the voice against FBI Name check delays which is also taking 1 - 3 years.


Issues:
a) Labor BEC - 3 years
b) I 140 - 2 weeks to 1 year
c) Retrogression - Typically will stop you and you might have to wait for 6 months to 3 years
d) New thing - FBI Name check (under 485) is taking around 1 - 3 years
 
finally got it

To all of you, I have been watching this thread for the past two years and finnaly today I received the letter from PBEC. My case has been approved.

I wish everybody all the best

Congratulations on your approval. For I-140, your employer have to file at NSC. Once you receive the receipt notice, it will be clear whether your case will be processed by NSC or transferred to TSC. Please follow the appropriate tracker thread then. You need not worry about the BEC tracker. I will include this when I post the tracker update later today.
 
Hi guys,

Congrats to all of you who got approved recently. As if PBEC couldn't screw us more .... My lawyer has yet to receive the approved labor despite the fact that my HR received the letter a few days after the approval .... so hang in there guys the fight is not over :)

MDwatch, are you still updating the BECtracker ?
 
Did you receive any NOF before it was certified.

Online status changed to certified: 12/05/06 :) :) :) :) :)

Please let me know if you had received any NOF. I have received an NOF and the details are in the signature. I have not received any information after my lawyers have sent a rebuttal. I was wondering why it took so long to approve your case when they have already approved some of the 2003 and 2004 cases...Any way congratulations and Good luck with the next steps...
 
no NOF, justing waited for 4 years

The best service for evaluation is World Education Service.

they have good online system and send your all documents to them. They will answer very quickly.
 
I also got my evaluation done by WES. Some say FIS (http://www.fis-web.com/)is more reputed with USCIS.

Any thoughts how credible is WES with USCIS ?

If you analyze the approvals from tracking spreadsheet or the tracker website you will find that people who responded to the 45 day letter in Dec 04 or Jan 05 have the largest # of cases pending when compared to any other month.

No idea why, but that is what I have concluded and it turns out that most of the people who received the letters and responded to them in those 2 months are mostly 2002 cases.

You can draw your own conclusions. Btw, The #'s only tell you when your case was entered in the system - nothing about where it is in the queue or when it will be processed - due to the randomness of things there obviously.
