This is an odd case and I appreciate any and all input from you PERM gurus out there! I had filed a request for reconsideration over a month ago. I recieved a notification on Monday stating that the Certifying Officer (CO) has reviewed the employer's request and has determined that one or more of the denial reason(s) is/are valid.
The original reason given was that the employer failed to provide documentation with original signatures even though the employer did provide all appropriate documentation with original signatures.
The ads are to old and I'm left with two choices - re-file OR submit the case to BALCA.
My lawyer is recommending BALCA but I have heard this can take a long time. 1) Does anyone know how long it can take to get a decision from BALCA?
2) Is it possible to send a case to BALCA and then decide to withdraw and file a new LC?
3) Has anyone ever sent their case or know of a case that has gone to BALCA and received a favorable response?
I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
