Overall Backlog Elimination Centers update/discussion

[GOD_BLESS_YOU]

the update:

If some one complains about the software glitch at PBEC it is really not software glitch it was an implementation problem with the workflow. This was happened since the guidelines were not concerte when they were published in the begining. So the certifying officers are not getting petitions which were actually intended to. that was the reason you saw some Random approvals. They have right now completed processing TR Oct2002 and RIR Aug 2001. This doesnt mean that they have all the approvals with regards to that processing date. As I mentioned some time ago, the case which made it regional and from specific states which made it earlier to PBECs are getting approved a lil bit earlier.

There are a certain number of certifying officers allocated for specific states so the problem was with the workflow software. Some officers did not care for the priority and went ahead and ceritified and some officers have raised a concern and they have to fix these issues first to proceed further.

Now everytthing seems to be synched in the whole center and expect things to followup soon.

BTW the person Rosilyn is a person to just handle calls from people like us who are curious to know more about the cases

I called them a month ago. The lady was quite polite and said that they no more provide information to the alien but only to the lawyer or the company.

even if ur lawyer or employer calls they will transfer them to automated answering machine which just explains the process that one will receive 45 day letter and then further processing.

Hi All,
I see All NJ guys are in Panic. please have a lil bit patience also I know the reason why you should be but, sometimes your lady luck doesnt give away enough of diamonds

Until June 2003 all the applicants will be get their certifications this year end or at the most by march of next year... this is irrespective of the petitions that were made to Regional or not. Why VA and MD first because they were first to made it to PBEC.

Regards

PBEC case staus

Hi

I have sent the email to Phi BEC for 7th year extension and I also have filed from NJ but so far no response. I haven't got any 45 days letter also.
So any idea what is going on in Phi BEC?

 

[Ash777]

Standard reply from Dallas BEC or ?

Since this is FAQ thread, I am posting what I got from Dallas BEC. I emailed them twice one week apart but same answer as below . Is the system down these days ? Is calling better than emailing?
Since my company immigration firm does not provide case no, is it worth calling with just my name and company name?
I appreciate your replies.

some relief to the retrogression?

please check out www.ILW.com

The FY 2006 140,000 employment-based numbers will increase by 7,000 numbers (overflow from family immigration numbers per the existing statutory scheme). Another one-time 101,000 numbers will be recaptured from FY 1999-2004 and will also be added to FY 2006, bringing the total to 248,000. This may portend some dramatic improvement in the Visa Bulletin in the balance of FY 2006 but it may not be enough. Different solutions are being considered for meaningful relief. These include: reallocation of the diversity visa (55,000) numbers by eliminating the DV category, and recapturing erroneously counted employment numbers (rumored to be significant). Other solutions being considered are the issuance of advance parole and EAD eligibility to primary applicants and spouses applying for their I-140s and large permanent increases in permanent employment numbers through the Mc-Cain-Kennedy bill. This pressing problem will surely provide ample opportunity for creativity during this Congress.

Nothing. Your application waits in queue as it did before. The 45-day letter was apparently designed to reduce the workload at a BPC by weeding out applications that were no longer being pursued by the applicant, but I've heard that the response rate was extremely high, so it's just been a waste of time for BPC's.

Look at the BPC tracker:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=161571&page=120&pp=15
Open the Excel spreadsheet given there. You can see who's getting the 45 day letter and who's getting the approvals.
