Ana..sorry to hear that

Hi Ana,
Sorry to hear about your case. You have been one of the actively participating individual. You must have tried to explore your options. Let us know what your lawyers suggest.
For those who gets certified, congrats. Have a " without-ups-downs, without-problems journey " to 140/485 stage.
The last statistics by rollingstone is really scary. After doing all that research, all we can say is "DOL is unpredictable! All you need is luck and one good day to get certified!"
 
I tried to check my status. I live in Portland, Oregon.

I tried both lcstatus10@doleta.gov and lcstatus09@doleta.gov. With "Case XXXXXXXX" in the message body (No subject), I did not get any response. I do not know why. How long should I wait till the response gets back? Any information will be very appreciated. Thanks.
 
Here is the format:
Subject: Case xxxxxxxx
To: LCSTATUS09@doleta.gov
Message body: Case xxxxxxxx

and wait for 24 to 72 hours for a reply

Looks like DOL is almost dine remanding September cases.

Some of my employer's late September cases are already remanded. They should start remanding October cases this week (doesn't makes much sense to say 'processing')

It seems that the most recent certified cases are those got NOF in May or earlier. Since June, we saw almost all processed cases were remanded to state. I heard a rumor saying that DOL at SF believed that there was no need for RIR effort for Computer related positions since mid 2001 because of massive layoff of domestic workers, which might be the excuse for DOD at SF to stamp “Remand to State” on all RIR cases.

If this is true, I have a question for DOL at SF, why telling us so late? Did you just figure out that RIR become unnecessary sine two years ago? As an application of RIR LC, I feel like I was allowed to take a bus for a long long trip. When getting to the destination, suddenly I was told that this bus should been canceled and I had to go back to where I started. Somebody may say, “You still have the priority date for non-RIR track.” I would ask, “Where is the 6+ month for RIR advertisement?” I guess many of RIR applications would stand in front of tons of 245i applicants in the non-RIR line if they chose non-RIR from the beginning.

RIR folks, we got to do something instead of praying for the mercy from DOL at SF. We should speak out our frustration, pain and anger for being treated like this way.
 
Looks like their servers are down or have been shut down.

any clears in sept list

I just heard that SF DOL are processing OCT 2002 cases....did any one get ...+ve result on SEPT 2002 cases? I even know it is horrible to get certified lately....but tiny inclination..........
 
Labor Certified

PD: Sep'01

DOL RD: Sep'02

DOT Code: 999.132.051

Certified on 7/11/03

This forum has been very informative and has helped me get through this long wait - but for it, this whole labor cert process would have been a big dark hole..I'm very grateful for all the shared experiences and analysis on this forum.

It is very saddening to see the blanket 'remand to state' of IT cases - I sincerely hope that the affected professionals are able to get together and may be, with the help of lawyers appeal to DOL and generate enough pressure for them to re-evaluate what they are doing...

Good luck to everyone!
 
Popsy,

Congratulations!

I have the same DoT Code and it would be useful to get more data on your case ... were there and RFE's/NoF's issued? Location? etc.

Best Regards,
sppr
 
Addl Info

There was some kind of a query (don't know if it was called an RFE) from SESA in Aug'02. My lawyer responded and the case was transmitted to DOL in Sep'02.

Location: California

No NOF or query from DOL.

Hope this helps.

sppr,

clarification- I meant to say 'Southern California' - if that makes a difference.

Re: Addl Info

Popsy,

I too received an RFE from SESA earlier this year and my lawyer responded to it.

What size company do you work for? And is the EB2/3 RIR?

Best,
sppr
