    Finally the lawyer wrote back yesterday saying that the certified labor application has been received. The approval date is September 15. It took me about 3 weeks to receive the letter. What a phenomenal mess the DOL is in? On a side note, I had written a detailed letter to Emily Stover...

    I think the DOL is going to be late again, according to the AILA website, http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=19764. I quote verbatim from this document, "DOL also realizes that, once it has finished inputting the backlog cases and sending out the rest of the 45-day letters, which it...

    Folks, I just thought of another way to try to get information out from the Department of Labor. Usually all federal agencies come under the purview of the FOIA. Is it possible for the people who were interfacing with Rajiv Khanna to see if Rajiv Khanna can make a request under FOIA to get...
