Question on Date filed ??
I asked my HR to let me know the status and she said for the my case number the prepared Date came up as three days later than when my attorney told that they filed on. Which one is correct? Does anybody know, what date does it show on the status check when one checks for status in PERM system.

Company existence verification
Hi, All,
I am in the process to file PERM. My employer registered in the DOL website. A week later, the DOL sent a email to ask document evidence for company existence verification. My employer sent the all the document by both email and mail. It has been more than 3 weeks after that and We have not heard anything from the DOL yet. Does anyone of you have the same experience? How long did it take you to get the reply from the DOL?
Many thanks

Conflicting Information
HI, Any one whoever filed PERM labor can you clarify me one information, please? How long will take to file PERM after Job Order. I read all the posts and information it says 30 days of Job Order and Advertisement but attorney says 60 days wait period after Job Order placed.
Which is right? Anyone's answer is appreciable.

Can anyone tell me which center my application goes to if my Company is in California
Guys, please help me....
The Company's attorney is unreachable and I have no idea where my Perm application was filed. All I know is that the attorney filed it on 30th September and then after a few days, he gave me a receipt number which begins with the letter C. This company is based in California and so is the lawyer. How long does it take for Perm approvals in similar cases like mine. I am a software engineer with 10+ years of experience. The company who has filed my Perm is a small sized company and has about 20 consultants in place. Currently I am not working for this company but would definetly join them once the Perm is approved.

Thanks Gc_2006. But attorney is saying even after the closing of Job order wait period of 30 days, another 60 days (i.e, 30 days -- closing -- 60 days wait). Thats why the confusion.
Thanks anyway for your response.

How the hell can DOL get away with crappy system like this is no clue. My wife's cert is also pending now for 90 days. There is no way anybody can get any information on status, processing, etc. This was supposed to be computerized.. I wonder whether there are monkey's sitting at the other end with Cathod ray tubes.. going 1, 0, 0, 1.. There has to be a way to sue DOL for lack of information and mental anguish it causes. Life on hold forever..

My few thoughts...
The present situation reminds me stoppage of processing of cases at Chicago in 2004. They were lying to us that they were still processing these cases whereas they simply packed them in boxes and were waiting for the launch of backlog reduction centers. I'm wondering if we have a similar situation now. Perhaps now they're waiting for something else, like launch of a temporary guest worker program proposed by Bush so they can assing their precious resources to work on that. Or more likely - they are waiting for the world-wide retrogression to happen so no one will be able to file I-140/I-495 anyways. Also, it seems that most of the cases that were already approved (according to an Excel tracking status maintained here) are not IT related. The truth could be that decision makers in this country are simply not interested in giving out GCs to IT people. What they need is a cheap workforce and free social security money. It is hard to believe that the DOL acts on its own without any guidance from the top when delaying the process. It is time for lawyers to start calling DOL and demanding answers. Someone should be accountable for this mess.

Maybe not true...
Although I can understand your situation...I can be pessimistic...but I believe this software is clearing some cases in random...most of the cases happen to be in IT and so not many IT cases get approved. I believe these cases go into different channels...people work in different channels..some will be overloaded and some are not. I think Rajiv's website says they received lot of approvals some in days and some in weeks. So how can that be true?
It is a big dark hole and we will not know much until the holidays are over...which must have already started by now!
I think Rajiv should guide us and tell us if anyone can file a lawsuit like that to ask DOL to be more productive.....
