Atlanta PERM Processing Center Tracking

Awaiting PERM approval

Hello everybody.

I've been following this web site for the last couple of days and it seems really helpful. I just regret I haven't new about it before. I'm almost a year in USA and a company filed for PERM last month. I have a lawyer who is helping me.

I'm waiting for a PERM approval filed by a small business with very few employees. I'm almost desperate because my legal status in USA is almost over and I'm here with my family. Though everybody says that it's going to be tough, I'm a positive person and have a lot of hope. My case sumarizing is as follows:

Logistics Manager
BA + 4 yeras of experience.
Filed ETA, 01/30/2006
status: in process

I would like to have any input from anyone who had been through the whole process, specially for small companies and in case I get an audit or a denial. What to do in those cases? Although I would like to have a follow up to the Atlanta Processing Center.

I thought the whole point of PERM was that it was streamlined & automated. Why is it taking 3+ months to go through PERM? Anyone have any insight from their lawyers, moles, gurus and palm readers? I mean, do PERM applications have to be looked at by many people? If so, how's it different than the regular process? I thought the whole idea was to make it a rubber-stamp process with selective audits to ensure honesty.

Also, looking at the slick PERM Tracker here:
http://www.nriweb.com/atlantapermtracker.php?category=&status=&cv=&sortfield=1&sortorder=asc
Why are some applications submitted in 12/05 and 01/06 already approved, while several applications submitted in 11/05 and 12/05 are stuck? I thought this was supposed to be a FIFO system? What accounts for applications being processed out of order?

WTF!!!!!!!!!

My case was filed in 09/2005, 5 month past :(, heard of nothing yet. Is this the trend that case filed in September and October 2005 seemed stucked?
 
Same Here...almost 5 moths

Same with me. Filed 10/7/05, Atlanta, EB3, Statistical Analyst....In Process. Lawyer says "have to wait" :mad:
 
Delay in getting prevailing wages. URGENT NEED HELP

It has been seven weeks, and my attorney has not been able to get the prevailibg wages from NY DOL. I do not know if there is actual delay from DOL, or is it just usual delaing trick.

Kindly, let me know how long is it taking to obtain prevailing wages from NY DOL. I am already on my seventh year extension, and nearly a nervous wreck because of green card delays.

Please help.

Warm regards

Vivek

PLEASE enter your PERM application in Tracker

Please enter your PERM application -- whether you are waiting, are denied, or have been approved (especially if you have been approved!!!) -- in the online tracker:

http://www.nriweb.com/atlantapermtracker.php

This helps everyone understand what the HECK is going on over in Atlanta. Right now there seems to be no pattern at all.

Thanks.

You have to do it yourself with your own login, so that you can update it later (hopefully when it is approved).

Thanks.

Congrats!!! What was the wage level as determined by your SWA?
Was it Level II?

Also, what was the answer for question H-12 on your Form 9089 (Are these requirements normal to the occupation?)

Thanks!!

Got Denied after 9 months. don't know reason yet

applied: june 2005..went through audit and denied.

i also have another application pending which is in process. that was filed on jan .03 2006
 
Did you get sponsorship email?

If you had received sponsorship email then it is a cause to worry for others like me. If not then software might have rejected the appln for some crazy reason....How did you get in your second app? I think you cannot apply with the same employer right? I mean one employee with a comp cannot have two apps pending at the same time..

Scatcat.

i did recieve sponsorship email same day.a month later in july i recieved audit which was replied on time since then it was in process.

my lawyere re-applied in jan 03 2006..same job , same emolpyer. only change in application was..he clicked on no to which had caused audit in previous application.

and yes i have heard that u can't have 2 application from same employer..but i never spoke to my lawyer about it.

now it is possiblity that they denied this application due to duplicate , but i don't kow

also my HR send an email to atlanta center last week asking for update and they denied application today. i think i have to wait for letter to know exact reason of denial.
 
Refile Perm?

Filed Perm 10/7/05. no sponsorship email, no calls. 5 moths later Perm got denied, march 3, 2006. Reason: A selection was not made for Section K-2, Job 3 employer address and the aplication is incomplete. Therefore, per. 656.17(a), this application is denied.

First I thought it is a PO Box number problem, but not the case. In the previous experiense section, when I was not working, attorney put dashes, or NA, or something, not sure....so now???????

Attorney recommends refiling, I have to do the recruitment and everything again. Employer does not mind, very supportive. What do you think are my chances the 2nd time?

There is nothing like you will not get PERM upon refiling

First fire that lawyer and choose a different one...since you are doing everything from scratch...he is not worth it.

If you do it right you should get it right...so if you have experienced lawyer then you are ok.
