As far as I know, Maine doesn't accept RIR.

Thanks. I found that info couple of days ago. They dont accept RIRs in IT field.

 

[mainegc]

from where you got info that Maine wont accept RIR cases??

I emailed Vaughn (He is a contact info for Maine SESA) and this is how he replied me. Again, he may have replied me in such a way to discourage IT people to file in RIR there. I would make sure with lawyer only.

thanks Shudigidi

for this most important valuable information.
but i spoke to my lawyer she told me they already approved some cases in RIR from Maine and sent to Boston Regional office to clear last step for labor.

i'll send this info which you gave and ask her once again to clarify.
becaouse from maine, if tis non RIR it takes 3 more months from boston to clear , Boston Regional is doing Sept 2003 for Non RIR cases.
i'll update you once i get any info from my lawyer
