    gcwantsme Hi GCwantsme Was wondering how you got your DOL receipt date. My labor was filed on 6/18/03 and I haven't received anything back from the SWA. Did you get a receipt letter from them? -srigans

    sanvibha, Thanks for the reply. I thought the approval itself takes only about 2 months, I was asking about the acknowledgement letter from SESA with the priority date. That should be a matter of 2 or 3 weeks right?

    Chicago SESA Does anybody know how long the Illinois SESA takes to send the Priority Date letter to the attorney. According to my attorney, my LCA was filed on June 18th but they haven't heard anything back from the SESA. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
