Boston DOL Region- - I tracker Part II

What can be done...any suggestions?

Dear friends,

I am completing my 6 years in US (even after adding all the vacation time out of USA) on 27th March 2002.

My PD at SESA is Feb 26th 2001 and my RD in DOL is June 19th 2001.

And at the rate the things are going now I am not very hopeful about getting my LC cleared before the expiration date of my 6 years.

My attorney says it is not a good idea to apply for the 7th year before getting the LC as it might get denied.

I am ready go out of country for a month or so if needed.

However, what are my other options/alternatives? Especially since one more month may still not buy me enough time.

Thanks in advance

P.S.Hearty Congrats to Pikachu.. I can imagine how relieved you must me feeling...

What happened?

Although I am stuck in MA SESA, it is good to see
such a great job by DOL. Does anybody know about
their organization change? From this new year day,
I feel DOL is processing extremely high pace and
there should be some organization or policy change.

Anyway I hope DOL is going to clear all the back
log by the time my LC reaches there.
 
Is these cases are for Permanent labor or for Temporary

Great help by Marllborobell!!
  Is the above certified cases are of Permanent labor Certifications or it is a mix of Permanent & Temporary cases.

Thanks in advance!
 
No Title

As far as I know, these are all permanent cases. Given the amount of time it\'s taken to certify them, I can\'t believe they would be temps.

in limbo: Don\'t worry, they\'ll fill in the gaps. I don\'t know how DOL works, but they do seem to jump ahead sometimes. That was certainly the case when they first started processing March cases. For any given RD, the AD can vary by as much as three months.

For instance, the first March 1 case was approved on October 12; there are still a few remaining now (although it just seems to be stragglers now for cases prior to March 14) It does appear, however, that the March 1 cases were mostly processed in two tranches, one in early November and one in mid-December. It\'s just my guess that the RIR folks were done in November, the regular folks in December, but that there are a few cases pulled out for extra review that get delayed further. But who knows...

I\'m fairly sure that a local immigration lawyer friend of mine said that someone had left Boston DOL, which was slowing processing down. It could well be that their replacement has just arrived! We\'ll have to see how things go.

But, for now, way to go, DOL!
 
they\'re being quite random about their pickings!

Nice to see DOL picking up some pace - though they seem to have COMPLETELY skipped over the late March/early April weeks - My RD is first week of April - and I can\'t say from looking at the last few days whether I\'ll be up for decision tomorrow or in 2 months!

Also, does anyone know how long DOL takes to adjudicate NOF rebuttals? I\'m 99.99999% sure I\'m getting NOF\'d \'cos of layoffs- all my collegues got NOF\'d,but DOL has been sitting on their rebuttals (without responding) for a month now. The only good news I have heard is from a friend whose I-140 in VSC got processed (soup to nuts) in six weeks! so hopefully, that will make up for the wait at DOL, assuming I make it through. pikachu pokemon and marlborobell - thanks for the great job keeping us up to date - I\'ve been a lurker many months now, and appreciate the timely updates.

cheers, and best of luck to all.
 
sunnyboy, call your lawyer...

Your case is still listed as \'NOF Rebuttal Received 10/10/2001\' which means that it\'s beyond the scope of most of our experience. Why DOL would sit on a rebuttal for three months is beyond me, but I suggest you yell at your lawyer and get him to start threatening DOL with a writ of mandamus, or something similar, to get them off their butts.

Tony: no, 6 weeks for I-140 at Vermont seems to be normal now. How long this blessed state of affairs will persist is a good question.
 
I have a dream ....

44 cases each day, that means 1100 cases a month! It will be soon for my turn ....
 
RIR vs non-RIR

Why are we not seeing a huge processing time differences between these two, assuming that a lot of cases under 245(i) were of non-rir type? Any Ideas?
 
No Title

For a start, we haven\'t even reached the
i start
of the 245(i) deluge. With the exception of odd cases, the latest RD we\'ve seen action on is April 13, and that will be a case that was filed around January.

It will be interesting to see if RIR and non-RIR start taking a diverging path, but it\'ll probably be at least three months before we even start to see the effects of 245(i).
 
automated e-mail info...

when does the database that spews out those automated e-mail responses get updated? same day (after close of business) or the next morning ?

thanks
