Case Closed and subsequently reopened as i had not received the 45 day letter.
Hi All,
You are all doing a wonderful job by posting information regularly, on the ongoing events at the "famous and backedup "
Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center.
The Following are the followups regarding my case since the last week of May.
1. Sent an e-mail to H1b7yr@PHI.DFLC.US during last week of May.
2. Received an email in response within one hour, showing my ETA case number and other details in a screen shot. All fields were correct and complete.
3. Mid June: My employer called the 202.... number to WashingtonDC Foreign Labour Department, enquiring about non
reciept of the 45 day letter. He was informed that my case was entered into system during May 1st week, was assigned to
an analyst on June 1st week. The person whom my employer spoke to was surprised that without receiving 45 day letter it
was assigned to analyst for further processing.
4. Contacted Attorney asking whether he received 45 day letter and replied to the same. He had not received it too.
5.On July 21, 2006 : I contacted PBEC giving my case Number, that I had not received the 45 Day letter yet. The Person
checked the database and informed that the Case has been closed and could not give no further info about reason for closing.
The same day by Mail, my employer received a letter from PBEC about case closure.
6. Contacted my attorney immediately, who still maintained that he had not yet heard from the department and was following up.
7. Date: 7/24/2006 : My employer sent an e-mail to reopenrequest@phi.dflc.us, stating we had not received 45 day letter and therefore requesting to
reopen case[ request sent to Philadelphi Backlog Elimination Centre].
8. On 7/27/2006, called PBEC in the afternoon, the person who took the call was helpful, took my case number and
informed that my case has been reopened around 12:00 Noon and an e-mail would be sent to the employer. Around
3:00pm, my employer received email from Dallas Backlog Elimination center about reopening of case and a screen shot. The Screen shot shows the case status as re-opened, and also Case reopen date.
9. Now confused where my case is in Philly/ Dallas. But am glad to know atleast my case was reopened.
10. Attorney, still to come up with any information about my case.
So Guys, whoever has had their Cases closed by error / Not yet received 45 day letter, Do not loose hope.
Its a good idea to make your employer call and check the status and do the necessary correspondence to the concerned backlog
center by e-mail/fax.
Do not rely much on the attorney for corresponding for reopening the case.
Pls add my info given below in your tracker.
