harshy,
Congratuts for your certification. Can you please share following information:
1. Status sequence like Submitted->Sponsorship->In Process->Certified?
2. Job title
3. Education and Experience required
4. H-12 was YES or NO
5. In your earlier posting, you said your case filled on 07/14/2005 got denied. Did you get any reason for the same? What changes you made between 07/14/2005 and 08/02/2005 cases?
Thanks,

My attorney filed for my LC in October 2004 under RIR (EB3 category). However, my 6 year H1-B term ends - June 2006. I have not yet received my 45-day letter. I am comtemplating to file for PERM, but I would like some insights from all you wonderful people to help me make this decision.
Questions that I have are :
1. Would I be able transfer my existing case to PERM without much hassle or do I have to re-file my petition all over again (ie. place ads, shortlisting, etc ) ?
2. If (1) holds true then how long would this process take to get my LC ?
Sincerely appreciate your insights and suggestions.

1. It will involve some hassles (according to my lawyer). And you have to redoe the ad etc.
2. For PERM cases, the preparing (recruitment etc..) will take about 2-3 months, then once the case is filed, it is taking from 1 week to even 3 months depending how smooth it goes and which center you file under.
Given your relatively late priority date, have you considered filing a new PERM?
Good News: No retrogression for EB2 in Sept 2005
EB2 guys,
There would be no retrogression for EB2 in Sept 2005. Today, Immigration visa bulleting published, go through the following link:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2616.html
Also from Oct 2005 new year for USCIS will start so more visa numbers for everty category. It looks like EB2 will remain current for couple of months at least.

Hello VAhoper,
Well, I have surely thought it over to re-file under PERM, but I am debating it out as I understand that PERM is costly. By any chance would you be knowing how much it would cost to file for PERM. My employer is not paying a cent for my green card processing. Everthing comes out my pocket (which is slowly and slowly getting huge holes !: ))
Please do let me know.
Thank you !

I have used company's advocate to file PERM. He charges 1700 for PERM. But since we have existing job order, I paid only 1200. If you include the job order and advertisement cost, it will go up

Money is not the issue here
Do not think about money here...a thousand here and there in the long run does not matter. Get the best attorney and do it right once for all. Otherwise you will be brooding later and start worrying because the lawyer who charged you less did not do the right job. Use somebody like Rajiv Khanna...you will get what you pay for. Believe me it is all worth it.

Go for it. There are many good attorneys too.
I registered myself in this website long time ago and I posted few postings about the SWA in MA before the BECs come to light.
Anyway my lawyer filed a PERM LC for me on 7/18/2005 and here are some details:
- Job requirements: B.Sc. + 2 yrs of exp. (I have a Master degree and more than 2 yrs of exp.). I think that will be a EB3
- Employer size: ~ 5000 employee
- Atlanta processing center.
- 2 Sunday ads + 30 days job order (ended on 6/11/05) + 10 days notice
- 5 days Newspaper + 30 days employer web site + 30 days internet jobs web site + 30 days internal recruiting.
- Scientific field specialist (non-IT) state-employee position.
Last recruitment effort had been conducted on 6/17/05
Nobody applied for the job.
Filed the PERM on 7/18/05. The employer received the questionnaire email at the same day and replied immediately to it. Then as everybody knows Final Review then In Process since then.
I have a question for you guys about the retrogression I will post it separately to avoid any confusion.
I wish all of you the best and I will keep you posted if there’s any change.

PERM Conversion
Hi All,
I am waiting for my 45 DL from BEC but so far havent received. Talked to my lawyer and itseems they have done market analysis for my position and it passed which means they can apply PERM for the same position for which my current labour is pending.
So now I want the lawer to convert my current case to PERM ( my current case details are in my signature) to keep the PD. So my questions are:
1. Are there any problem with these kind of situations? Did any one get approvals lately or denials??
2. How long does such kind of cases take? Do they have to contact BEC for my old case or will they take my old case details from DOL. My case made it to regional.
3. I have read through some posts in this thread and saw some ppl who have converted their cases to PERM. Any updates??
4. I know there are some wage regulations in PERM and there are some catergories for each kind of posiiton in differnt state. How do they effect the approval and which category is the best? My case is EB2.
5. Some ppl posted saying that if a case is re-filed under PERM and it gets rejected for some reason then you loose the PD?? Is that true? Lets say it gets rejected because of some techincal error and not because of employement requirements then too will I loose my PD??
My case has already gone from SWA to regional and mine was traditional, so it went throught the whole recuitment process and passed. Actually my company did recuitment process recently and it passed too so do anyone see any problems?? I know its pretty lame question to ask but I cant phrase it better. I want to know what problem are encountered so far and the risk associated with this kind of cases.
Thanks a lot
