[Garfield]

I feel Philly BEC has been doing an awesome job for the past three months or so. If they continue at this pace, I feel PBEC approvals will outnumber DBEC approvals in the near future.

not that i am complaining but what caused the change of pace at PBEC? i hope they will go back to the cases they skipped in their random pick adn choose strategy.

I'm still around. Thanks for the valuable service!!

still here and no change in status

not that i am complaining but what caused the change of pace at PBEC? i hope they will go back to the cases they skipped in their random pick adn choose strategy.

We know that PBEC has been randomly skipping cases from 2001 and early 2002 and moving forward with approvals in late 2002. Here are the "theories" that try to explain PBEC's behavior. PBEC may have assigned cases from various date ranges to different processing analysts. Some of these analysts may be working on cases filed in later part of 2002 and they probably are the "more productive" analysts. Also, the analysts who have been assigned cases from 2001 and early 2002 may be over-worked or may be enjoying summer vacation or may have misplaced the cases/boxes or even messed up the sort order of the case files, which is why we see sporadic approvals now and then for 2001 and early 2002 cases. Also, it seems from our tracker that cases are being processed by State and hence we see different date ranges of cases being approved for cases filed from different States. PBEC has probably organized groups of analysts based on State and based on RIR/TR case type. Overall, the good news is that, in the recent months, PBEC appears to be strictly committed to increasing the pace of adjudication of all earlier filed cases in 2001 and 2002. The current trend appears to be very promising and I encourage all PBEC victims to continue to be hopeful.

Best of luck!!

Congratulations! Good luck to you for the remainder of GC process.

Good to know that DBEC is adjudicating cases faster. Can you please let us know your certifying officer and date when you replied to the 45day letter?

I read this from murthy.com :

Philadelphia BPC Continues with 2001 and 2002 Cases
©MurthyDotCom
The Philadelphia BPC, as before, is keeping more to a First-In/First-Out (FIFO) system. The cases that were approved had priority dates ranging from mid 2001 to late 2002. There was a case with a later priority date approved, but that was a special-handling case. Special-handling cases are for faculty members or other instructors who teach at institutions of higher education, like universities or colleges. Thus, it appears that the Philadelphia BPC, at least in this instance, is identifying and approving special handling cases before the regular LC or RIR cases. The recent LC approvals that we received from the Philadelphia BPC originated from Georgia, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland.

We know that PBEC has been randomly skipping cases from 2001 and early 2002 and moving forward with approvals in late 2002. Here are the "theories" that try to explain PBEC's behavior. PBEC may have assigned cases from various date ranges to different processing analysts. Some of these analysts may be working on cases filed in later part of 2002 and they probably are the "more productive" analysts. Also, the analysts who have been assigned cases from 2001 and early 2002 may be over-worked or may be enjoying summer vacation or may have misplaced the cases/boxes or even messed up the sort order of the case files, which is why we see sporadic approvals now and then for 2001 and early 2002 cases.

The certifying officer's name is Jenny Elser.
I know that my lawyer replied to the 45 day letter after May 17 since that is the date we received it. However I am not sure exactly on which date she replied.

Good luck to you all again!

[user0225]

Thanks MDwatch for the update.

I am trying to read the Approval Trends Data. Can somebody please explain to me what the number and the percentage mean?

Also wanted to confirm that the data for User0225, UserDP, UserKS & UserBS is up to date. All these cases are in Dallas BEC.

Today is June 30th, the day by which all 45 day letters should have been out by. Obviously we are far far away from there. I just dread to think what is going to happen in Sept 07 when the funding for BEC gets over and there would be 100k plus cases still waiting to be certified.

45 day letter submitted

My lawyer sent me a mail saying that she is submitting 45 day letter today to Dept of Labor. What will be next? I tryied to call my lawyer today but could not get her.

FINALLY got my application back from DBEC

Just got a call from my lawyer, they received my application back from Dallas BEC.

Hang on everyone, seems like things are starting to move!

Almost forgot - could someone please-)) point me to the right forum here or tell me about next steps (e.g. concurrect 140 and 485)? I don't trust my lawyer and would like to learn more before I meet him (...imagine that I educated him about new Premium Processing Service...)

Here are my details:
PD - Dec 2004
SWA - ILL
45 day letter received - mid May 2006
45 day letter replied - next day
Approval Date - not sure, have not seen paperwork yet

 

[so_depressed]

what's your filing status? EB2 or EB3, RIR or NON-RIR?
Thanks.

"so_depressed" thank you for your reply. as crazy as it sounds I don't really know. I hold 4 year degree in Comp Science with 2 years of professional experience at the time of filing.

 

[shanti1]

I am sorry if this question is repeated, I replied the 45 day letter over a month ago, am I suppose to have an ETA number or case number? (the labor hasn't been approved yet). If yes, who will provide it to me? Thanks.

 

[Chocolate]

additional info

U shud have asked for a screen shot from DBEC. from that u will know the case number.One thing i never relied on the lawyer .Becoz he never told me when he got 45 day letter .i came to know from DBEC screen shot i asked for.So i think its always better if we have some important info ourselves than lawyer giving us. they will take forever or never give.Good luck. Chances are u will get your approval in 2 months max.

 

[shanti1]

Thanks for your answer, chocolate, three months ago I sent DBEC an email (following advice from this forum) requesting them my case number (that should be the screen shot, isn't it?), they replied was that they only provide it to lawyers, then I asked my lawyer, he said that the case number assignment happens when labor is approved and not before, so what can I do? Thank you so much!
