Congraulations! Must be a relief. Hopefully all the other backlogged EB2 140s from 2002 will also be approved soon!

That is in general, not true. RIR usually takes significantly lesser time than non-RIR. As for the MA dates, I believe there is a typo on the update webpage..non-RIR processing appears to actually be currently upto Nov 2002 (not 2003!), while RIR processing dates are Apr 2003. Even for...

Don't hold your breath, though... EB2 processing time has again been explicitly sub-divided into two: EB2: Jan 6,2003 EB2-NIW: June 26,2002 EB1 Outstanding researcher has inched forward (dare I say!): June 25,2002 EB3: Mar 28,2003 God save us all ;)

I called DOL yesterday, but found no record of my case in the DOL system yet. I guess that means it hasnt reached their office yet... oh, well!

Yes, I checked out that site. However, DOL has updated it for applications received by their office up to 3rd Dec, 2003 only - people whose app. reached DOL on or before that date have probably all heard from their attorneys and gotten their approvals, given current DOL proc. times. So, the...

congrats , brigand. keep breathing ;-)

I saw one post in the VSC I-140 thread (thread one level above this) about a Sep 2003 case being approved. But, I think it is still too early for bulk approvals around that date. Depending on whether you're EB2 or EB3 (EB1s are still on June 2002!), a majority of approvals at least as seen in...

If you have also filed for 485 and it has been pending for at least 180 days, you can use AC 21 portability to change jobs as long as it is a similar type of job. In this case, your company cannot withdraw the I-140 petition. If you havent filed for 485 yet, the safest thing to do would be...

Pruma, There is no consistent movement of cases in the USCIS! Especially with I-140s and 485s, the processing dates have been moving forward a little only now, after nearly a year of remaining stagnant. let's hope the current trend continues and they increase the pace of processing... until...

I think Boston DOL is pretty fast.... for both RIR and non-RIR cases. It seems to be the SESAs that take their own sweet time :-(

I think it is probably a typo, given that it was at Nov 2002 a few weeks ago, and RIR processing itself is at Apr 2003 only. Wish SESA was so efficient though ;-/

rrml, minesw, tigris, desiG, Seems like we are all in the same boat. My recruitment results (MA) were submitted on Dec 1 - I havent heard anything about DOL receiving it. Please keep your status posted, I'll do the same.

Wow- That does seem like Utopia land! Wish it were true in all states/centers ! I remember when I filed for labor in Pittsuburgh in '99, the application got processed by SESA in a few days. It got forwarded to DOL even before I got the receipt of acknowledgement from SESA :-) Of course, as...

Congrats BostonBuddy! 5 months for DOL to process the app. sounds like more than what it was taking just a few months ago! Could you give us more accurate dates when you submitted the recruitment results, when DOL received it, etc? Also, which state SESA did you file with? Thanks, and...

mei1234, I am not sure if your application was submitted in Oct or Dec, from your two posts. If it is Oct- I think you should get your lawyer to contact MA SESA asap and find out what happened (and make sure SESA received your appl). He should be able to reach them via telephone. I think...

RIR, or reduction in recruitment is the scenario where the employer has established that there is a reduced availability of workers for the position - they do this by showing that they've already conducted recruitment efforts that were unsuccessful. This helps in speeding up the labor...

Here is the address for the studio that SBR mentioned: West Campus Photo Imaging 1028 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215 (617) 566-5062 (I personally have no experience here, but I work close to this place, so know the address! I know it is popular with BU kids) Also, just a...

zbcx123, Realistically, it's taking around 3-4 months from the date you file recruitment results. So, I would guess you'll hear about your DOL approval anywhere between first week of jan and first week of feb. ...You're almost there :-)
