Re: any thoughts

If I were in your shoes, I'd be prepared to grow gray hair before getting your green card. I am not trying to be passamestic, what I am saying is that it will most probably be approved at the end. It's just that the wait, from advertising until getting the green card averages out to be four years. Yes, four years! I already finished about two and I have two more to go.

Good luck

my sesa application was filed during last week of jan this year. Any ideas when this will be processed by SESA to send it to SFO DOL. I am not sure what exactly they do in RIR processing in SESA. Can anyone throw some light??

Well it's not that bad in all cases, SESA should reach Jan 03 in about 3 months.. they will verify the recruitment process done by your company & If everything is fine Case will be sent to DOL.. Where you have to wait for about 10 months & hope for the best.

PERM process delayed further - expected December 2003

Here is the message :

In a teleconference between the Department of Labor-Employment and Training
Administration (DOL) and the DOL liaison of the American Immigration Lawyers
Association (AILA), the minutes of which were released in August 2003, the DOL
confirmed that PERM regulations, as well as labor certification backlog
reduction, are top items on their agenda. They projected that the final PERM
regulations would be published in late fall 2003. The implementation of the
regulation and the PERM program would then occur at the end of calendar year
2003.

It is difficult to be sure of the timing since, originally, PERM was to have
started fall 2002, then in April 2003, and then was postponed to an expected
date in August or October 2003, and now by December 2003. This December 2003
timeframe is just a prediction. DOL has indicated that the implementation of
PERM will depend upon the funding for labor certification backlog reduction.
Additionally, the budget process and timing with respect to funding issues is
difficult to predict.

DOL stated that PERM will continue to progress even if the backlog reduction
process is stalled. They have a timeline for perfecting the PERM technology and
will be beta testing. Details of the timeline were not released. We may be able
to obtain some additional insight into this aspect of the process, as they will
be requesting assistance in the beta testing. Therefore, there should be some
information available once beta testing is imminent.

Although the start date for PERM remains unclear, it does appear that the PERM
program is still a priority for DOL. Given that the predictions involve
timeframes that are only a few months away, the answer to the question of "when"
is hopefully closer.
 
satya_gc,
where did you get this information? Is it from a August newsletter on some immigration website?

I am sorry, my company shut down just 3 weeks ago, and I am struggling to look for a way to stay here. So I can not answer your question. Hopefully, I can get back this thread soon....
