02/19/2005: DFLC Backlog Processing Center 45-Day Letter and Responses
The Backlog Processing Centers in Dallas and Philadelphia have been issuing so-called 45-day letters to the labor certification applicants as a first step to process these cases. The 45-day letter instructs that the response should be sent to the Centers via either mail or fax.
People must have noticed that currently there is no available channel to communicate with the Backlog Processing Centers. Accordingly, people do not have any evidence that their responses have indeed been properly received and processed by the Centers if they send their responses by fax. Transmittal by fax usually is confirmed by their fax machines in a form of printed report, but it is not a proof that any specific document was transmitted. This is particularly true with a large company or law firms that send out a number of responses via fax. A copy of their letter or transmittal sheet is not a proof. Considering the fact that the consequences of failure to file the response to the 45-day is very critical in that such application will be denied, it may be prudent that the filers use either certified mail return receipt request or overnight deliver services with the certified number or tracking number on the cover letter. The tracking confirmation and the cover letter with the tracking number will form a good evidence of the receipt of the responses by the Centers. Fax transmittal has an additional problem. The fax line of the Centers is constantly busy.
