10/04/2004: Bad News for DOL Chicago Region Labor Certification Processing

The DOL Region V in Chicago's RIR processing time has been at standstill for several months but there is no reliable information and explanation for the freeze. Now, we hear some worse news. Unconfirmed sources of information indicate that the Chicago DOL Region is relocating to a new building and they are busy in packing files in boxes. The information also indicates that the current Certifying Officer in Chicago Region retired a couple days ago. Apparently, the Region office is moving into the future National Processing Center location which will be in charge of PERM program. As people know, another National Processing Center will be located in Atlanta, Georgia. DOL HQ has released the information to the AILA that they were recruiting the Certifying Officers for these two Centers. At this time, there is no information about the fate of the current DOL Regions once the PERM is launched and actively operated. This is particularly true with the two Regions in Chicago and Atlanta.
The new location of the Region V and National Processing Center is known to be: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Division of Foreign Labor Certification, 844 North Rush Street, 12th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60611. The moving may be completed by November 1, 2004, according to the sources.
Just bad news after bad news! The White House is holding the decision of the PERM regulation indefinitely despite the underlying mandates for the OMB in the relevant Executive Order.
 
this is really bad news but for who - for those employers who claim to have branch offfice in chicago area to take advantage of fast processing time.

this should be an example for people who fall prey to forum shoppers and unethical bodyshoppers. once fast processing regions like delaware, NH, phily were almost gone. now its chicago. next will be north/south dakota, WY, etc. next those bodyshoppers will claim that they have preapproved labor from andhra, maharastra, tamilnadu but even then there are lots of fools who will go for it without any realistic thinking.

people should come to the real world that current processing time cannot be trusted. its better to join a real company who gives everything in writing, who operate from office space, who RESPONDS to emails, who DO NOT FORUM SHOP and who have real clients.

BUT those abusers do not know what is in store for them in future. there are many thing happening behind the scene. some of the worst bodyshopper (who come to this forum) has been watched.
