Atlanta Regional DOL Tracker

better a known Devil than an Unknown one

:) Just trying to analyze the benefits of jumping in to the PERM bandwagon ... I went through the PERM update on this site. I still have a doubt .... I have a RIR process going on in Atlanta DOL, if I opt for PERM would that mean we will have to spend again for advertisments and the such after getting the Prevailing wage determination ? Or is that skipped for guys like us who are already part of the old process ?

If advertisements need not be done again ... PERM sounds quite attractive. Otherwise, I would say .. better a known Devil than an Unknown one .. what say :) !!!
 
Labor Certificate Received

I have finally received the Labor Certificate from the USDOL. Although we have filed the papers for 140 with out the labor certificate attached. I do not know what my lawyer would do with it now, will he send the add-on to the package or would he wait for the RFE to be issued.

But anyways I am glad atleast I received the letter now. This forum was very useful in terms of information and guidance. Thanks everyone I will see you all soon in the 140/485 forums.

What a jerk Atlanta DOL is!

Recently I keep hearing good news from my friends. One filed his LC in mid 2003 got his GC approved. Yes, his Green Card! Another two who filed their LC in 2004 got their LC certificates after 6 months waiting. Now their GC applications have been pending for months. And what happen to my case? I'm in the middle, 5 months later than the first guy and 2/6 months ahead of other two. And I'm firmly stucked in the middle, too. :mad: If all the unopen cases are sending to BRC, my best hope would be get my GC when my friends become citizens, if I can keep my job. What a fair game!
 
I agree!

My case is same as yours, I want to refile a PERM apply and keep old apply file (RIR) in BPC.

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
 
I called my attorney yesterday regarding the case transfer letter and PERM. Here is what she said:
We should receive letter from Pilly or Dallas by this month if the case is transfered to there. Upon receiving this letter, we can choose to withdraw, to continue with RIR, or to switch to PERM. If we don't receive the letter, then the case might still stay at Atlanta.
Don't know how much of the above statements are true. Anyway, I think the chance that our case stay at Atlanta is quite low. :(
 
I asked my HR dept, they said either attorney office or HR office did not receive any letter from BEC. I called ATL regional office, the lady said it is still in atlanta and not assigned to analyst. HTH's

You may want to post the following three dates. It may help others. The NOF and your response dates and the date of approval.
 
Shooting in the dark

Hello All,
Now with AVM down, anyone know any way to keep track of one's pending LCA case (besides trying to call and talk to a person). I know flcdatacenter gets updated less frequently.

I guess we will just have to rely on the once in a month update on the DOL website for processing month or wait for word of mouth from the lawyer!

No news from my side. Although, i did try to reach out to my attorney and the HR dept from my company but there seems to be no concrete news from either side.
Some_GreenCard,
Did you speak to someone at ATL DOL as an HR person from your company or as you, yourself..
