Atlanta Regional DOL Tracker

[compiler]

The case with the regional filing receipt May 2003 is expected adjudication in November, December. The retrogression of available immigrant visas in the third employment-based category (EB3) may occur as early as January 2005, likely from India and China. As long as your LC or I-140 has been filed for more than 365 days, you are eligible for the post 6 year H extension.

Sure Saurabh,
I did put it up here, but no one had any thing to say
My Lawyer is going to reply, this week hopefully.
Here is what I had posted

DOL disregarded my experience in India - which happened to be with the Sister company of the current Firm I am working for.

Sanan if your labor has been applied for since last 365 days there should not be a issue for the extension. I am already in my 7th year extension and there is no news about my LC status, you had a NOF for work exp, can you please ealaborate on it a little bit, do you have more or do you have less experience.

Ok

This does not sound bad! I still have 2 months to apply for my 140! Lets go ATL DOL!

Sanan, this is exactly the same scenario which I had when I was with my previous company and I had my LC approved there, but unfortunately I had to leave then (Stupid me). In than company I had some experience in India and some here in US for the same company and my HR people there showed it as two companies and eventually got the labor approved, so I am sure your LC will be approved too, once your Lawyer responds to it.

Phewww! That makes me feel better.
How long did it take for them to approve you after your lawyer replied?

Do not ask that, it were the good old days when the process for labour was the fastest among all the other processes (140 / 485 etc). Anyway I had my labor approved there (total from state filing to approval in 4 months) .

Only thing is was your exerience in the sister company in the relevant field which is mentioned in your application.

Phewww! That makes me feel better.

Guys,

My case transferred to ATL DOL in Sept 2003, Still waiting for certification.
I also filed a labour from a diffrent company in chicago and got certified in jan 2004.
Now i have been waiting here for last one year hoping atlanta will process faster but the cases are not moving at all.
I have a good job here except the labour tension. If i go for chicago labour they will not file my 140/485 until i work for them, Is it better to leave the current company and join the chicago company and look for job again or wait here hoping my turn is next for certification.
All this retrogression hype is making me tempt to go for chicago one.
Is it better off leaving a good job and better pay for faster GC or stick with the current company hoping my turn is next, Guys your suggestions please ......

No approval?

Has anyone heads of any approval in last 10 days (Precisely after October 27)? It looks like DOL Atlanta is already in the PERM mood?

Is it possible to substitute (approved) Labor in the same company which is doing my Labor by RIR (regular process) ?

Thanks.

Yes among the list above there are two cases which were certified one on Nov 4th and the other one on Nov 5th

Hai floridalc ,

Your case may get certified in one month or it may take 6 months also.Who knows.If you do not have any personal problem or contract problem in moving go ahead and join with new company with LC approved.

Did anyone check the AVM today, is there any good news with someone

 

[Some_GreenCard]

I guess good news stopped coming in the forum..
Saurab..you are the next person in the list to get certified..i didnt see any approval. This seems to be very discouraging with things going on with EB3 visa numbers cut off..

 

[saurabh_tulika]

I checked with some case numbers numbers yesterday and there wer some certified on Nov 5th, that means DOL is doing something
