Actually they are not stupid as you think. The reason they file EB3 for you is because you are paid too low (depends on what's your work field and where you work). They know you (and me) have to go through with them to get the GC.

Shipping Schedule:
Permanent case applications currently located at the SWAs and Regional Offices are being shipped to the Backlog Processing Centers in three phases based on local office receipt date.

Phase Local Office Receipt Date Date Due to Center
1 Prior to January 2003 Completed On 12-31-04
2 2003 to 2004 No Later Than 03-31-05
3 2005 No Later Than 04-22-05


Is this mean they have stopped processiong at regional DOL and sending them to BEC? What will happen to cases which cannot be shipped until 03-31-05 and 04-22-05? does it mean they will still be processed till the shipping date is due? can anyone answer hava an answer
 
same DOL website says like this:

Backlog Reduction Centers
These cases were filed under the current permanent labor certification program, which the Perm program will replace on March 28, 2005. Once the new Perm program is in effect, employers will no longer be able to file under the current process; however, active cases not filed under Perm will continue to be processed by the Backlog Centers.
(Some of these cases are still being processed in New York, Boston and San Francisco; however, the Backlog Reduction Centers will direct callers to the appropriate office)
Satellite Offices New York

So, NY, Boston, SFO DOLs function as satellite BECs. So the current cases from these centers may not go to BEC.

Did someone called the Boston DOL office? Are they still processing the applications? The number to call (617) 565-4446 is of no use as it's dead. If someone has better understanding of what is going on, please let us know.
 
Mine too. They did show the same on 750A. Is there a alternative for me? Can I change it to EB2 now? It appears that my case is screwed up for ever with these new rules n perm .....
 
guys,

I just received my LC from Boston DOL, proving they are still working, although at a very slow pace.

Mass RIR started beginning of August 2003, transfered to DOL beginning of September 2004, and approved mid-February 2005. No RFE, just 3 letters: receipt from SETA, when the case was "upgraded" to DOL, and the LC certif.

Total: 1.5 years. And the journey just started.

Good luck to all.
 
I just talked to my lawyer and asked him if everything would be moved to BEC. His answer was that Boston DOL will process all the cases till March 28th. Hope he is right about it!!
 
useful to go to Boston

Do you guys know how to relly get the Boston DOL information? All the tel numbers are not picked up. Is it possible to stop by DOL office in Boston to ask them? If so, I plan to go ask them tomorrow :)

thanks
 
Any Non-RIR approvals?

All the cases got approved from Boston DOL recently belong to RIR. Any non-RIR approval recently? Please post.

Anywhere to know the updated information for the current date of the PD? Is it progressing month by month? Thanks.

I just tried to call Boston DOL (never successful in the last several weeks) and the "nice lady" picked up the phone and I got some information.

My case was forwarded from CT to Boston DOL on October 7th and put into the system on Dec 1st (almost two month). I was told they now processing the cases of the first week of November. I asked her what will happen to my case and she said it'll process there and not send to BEC.

I just called the BOSTON DOL number and the "nice lady" picked up the phone. Although, she couldn't find my case. She did mention that once the files reach BOSTON DOL they won't be sent to the Backlog Reduction Centers.

My case details:

NH SWA PD: Nov 04
Forwarded to Boston DOL: Jan 05 (Got a letter from NH about forward)
EB3/RIR

Hope this is helpful for those who are waiting in line.

Thank You Longmarch & MNGUY,

This info is more than enough for me who checks this thread every 2 hours. Not moving our cases to BEC is a good news. I dont mind waiting for one more month but dont wont to imagine my case sent to BEC.

My case moved to Boston DOL on Nov5th.
