All remanded cases have been returned to DOL

Has anyone seen BS+0 LC returned to DOL from SWA recently?

From http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/dolswa1404.html


Cases that do not require at least a Bachelors degree (with no experience) or which were requested by the employer to be sent back to the State for recruitment, have been returned to the Region from the States. All of these cases have been “touched” by the Region, which does not mean completed. These cases have been placed back in the Regional Office’s queue according to the original RO receipt. The Region is now working cases with a December 2002 RO date and earlier. Inquiries may be made either by calling 415-975-4601and leaving a message or by faxing an inquiry to 415-975-4660. In either case all the relevant information should be provided to locate the case and responses should be received in 24-48 hours.
 
vvk01, is it true ?

Hi Vvk01,

My app PD is June 11, 2001 and it was transferred back to EDD in JUne 2003. But i have not heard anything like that from my attorneys so far. It would be great if they do that. Otherwise spending 5 years in labor and then couple of years in later stage, it is just horrible. How much time will we be able to survive with a company, or if a company will survive for this much long time ?

Let us hope for the best ....
 
Denied RIR remanded to non-rir in EDD/SESA from DOL

Guys,

Check out my timeline...anybody else on this list like me.
If yes wat plans you have to tackle this.

Timeline for ur refrence

1. Filed in 5/30/2001.(EDD/Labor state)
2. Goes to Federal state on: December 2001
3. Recvd at Federal : Jan 2002
4. Retest Remand Letter - March 2003
- My employer provided retest data to them
5. Denied RIR - went to EDD as non RIR case- April 2003
6. Haven't heard from them last one year + - June 2004


There were some optimistic moments where DOL had agreed it will take back all the cases which they had put back to EDD. Actually many cases did got approval who were filed after me but for my particular case.....looks like it is lost hope....

It seems denied RIR cases which were put in non-RIR queue in EDD by DOL is never gonaa make it...CAN WE DO SOMETHING about it.

Non-RIR cases hardly move.

Can anybody suggest what option I have . I have expiring H1.
Seeking GC has been a very bad experince for me.
They say u can keep extending H1 year by year every year as your labor is pending but this is so big hassle...Oh god getting GC has been a eal unfair process for me...I better return back to india now.

7th year extension and h1-transfer

Guys,
Please help,
Labour filed in California 2001 August, RIR denied and is now back to Regular Queue.
H1 expiring Dec'04. Employer ready to extend my h1 for 7th year.


I think my job is stable for one year so i do not want to leave my job also for now.
After one year i am not sure, so if i decide to switch employee during my 7th year
is it possible?
(If the new employer has an approved labour OR is willing to file for one in fast
moving states).?

Appreciate your response
 
Mine is similar case

Also if I plan to leave US after 7 years and then what happens of ONE year GAP required to come back on another stinit of 6 years H1B1.

I think we should better get out at the end of 6 years .. spend another year outside and then come back for another SIX years of H1b...May be green card processing will get better by that time with PERM etc...Nothing to lose...
except 1 year of DOLLAR earning... what do you suggest guys/

Mine is not old as yours, but same frustration.

My PR: 30-Aug-2001
DOL Date: 11-Sep-2002
Remand Date: 26-Jun-2002 ( BS+0 )
Status: Pending

Although I had MS+ 7 years experience, company filed for me and 10 other people the same way and everyone just waiting.

I wonder if some lawyer is willing to make a legal action for all such cases, so at least DOL give us an oppurtunity with a RFE.
