chicago labor
I was told by my attorney yesterday that Chicago Region is preparing for PERM ( which is nowhere in sight ) and Processing of any labor cases with them is on hold. According to him all of the current cases will eventually be routed to some other region, most likely the Backlog clearance centers, which are yet to be created!!
In my case, Chicago's REMAND to EMPLOYER was answered two months back. Now if they have decided to not process the case, what is the sanctity in asking for clarifications, evidence and recruitment effort. I wonder, that whenever anyone looks at it, will the recruitment results hold good? Our lives seems to be on ransom by this whole immigration process.
My case has been pending with DOL since Nov/2003.
RD - Nov/03
RFE - Mar/04

This is just insane. These guys are still hiring director for backlog reduction center, God knows when they will start hiring contractors and train them. This will take months. Also once they start merging several other region cases like Dallas (Dec 2002) we will be siting way back in the queue.

Letters to the DOL
You know Philly DOL tracker members are sending out letters to the DOL expressing their pain and sufferings through this long process. Can we also do similar thing with CHicago considering what they are planning to do?
Can somebody help us pls to draft a letter? Maybe we can all sign and send the petition. We should not be silent, rather try and make sure we let them know that we cannot suffer anymore.
Thanks!

I dont think they have totally stopped processing due to PERM....
I have been keeping track of a few random case numbers. There were a couple of cases(12/17/03) which were not approved yesterday and have been approved since then.....,but they have slowed down considerably !!
Moreover, I can not afford to lose hope. My case is just 3 working days away from current processing date

Perm
Dont worry guys. Still Chicago DOL is updating AVM every day. Even if they start PERM, they approve cases on the basis of priority date. I guess Chicago dont come under Bacaklog reduction center like Texas.
Or apply LC again under PERM and get approval within 21 days. Only you/your company need to spend extra bugs

Clarification
Can you let me know what is PERM and approval within 21 days.
Is this process already inplace and I can apply or is there a special qualification to apply for this. And what would be the extra money I would be spending in this process.
Thanks in Advance

gc_deb,
DOL is going to implement PERM process shortly may be either by the end of summer or early fall. This is a new process going to be implemented to approve labor cases ASAP within 21 days.
I mean if you/your company already filed LC, and again if you want to apply LC through PERM for faster approval, you need to spend extra money as attorney fee.
I guess you can understand...

Perm?
Will the implement PERM process influence the application of already-filed RIR case? Especially in Chicago region? because chicage will focus on the PERM in the future.
Will the earlier filed RIR case be sent to other region center?
