Looks like things have started moving.
I did rendom check and found that Case no. 05430806 was approved recently.
RD: Dec 16
Certified on Aug 2.
If we check some rendom cases of Dec 16,17, 18 we may find some recent approvals.
Hope for the Best but be prepared for the Worst.
Hi Guy's Don't ring Flase Alarams.
Hi Members
Recently i found some of the members rang false alarms ( ie DOL processing New Cases) and they are confusing other members. as of now DOL didn't start New cases. Because last 4 months i am tracking each case by case, not randomly. What ever they mentioned the case was approved on Aug 10 is RFE Case. They got RFE on June 08. Also another case they mentioned are also approved/ processed previously.
Be patience and try to post genuine information. If you can't / don't have time to do then don't send false alarms. Because I know how frustrating this waiting, But don’t Lose Hope.
i am sorry if I offend anyone.

I agree with Tekkie.
We knew case054..969 was certified long ago.I also reported 054--806 which was a RFE certified on Aug2.Recently approved 054..961 is also RFE.
GUYS ,I have mentioned several times...cases from 054..65 (with the exception of 054..969) are not processed. Processing RFE is NOT same as processing New cases.

But my understanding is that once they stopped processing perm cases it affected both RFEs and new cases. So if some RFEs got certified it means to me that DOL has started commiting new resources to process perm labors. They will probably clear any RFEs first before starting working on new cases.
Hi Guy's
Well yes they have started processing perm cases to keep the processing in sequence as mentioned by the director in the explation given to AILA as mentioned by the director they need to clear all the rfe cases before they get to new cases.
Further coming to back log reduction centers - they are issuing set of rules which will be formulated and published by individual Directors, and still the processing of cases will continue in chicago. Lets wait untill these rules are published which expected around third week of August.

08/12/2004: Labor Certification Processing Backlogs for Chicago Region
from immigration-law.com..hope this helps our understanding
"People must have noticed that the processing time report for the Chicago Region has not progressed for the last few months. Prior to the current set-back, the Chicago Region was known to be one of the best in the nation in terms of processing times and adjudication of various issues. The Chicago Region was one of those that did not immediately react to the so-called Carlson Memo which was released in October 2003 and for a while the applicants did not see increase in Notice of Findings and Remands for RIR cases because of the Memo. However, it did not last long. The Chicago Region was known to have been struck by this lightening afterwards, and the applicants started seeing NOFs and Remands in the mail.
Unconfirmed sources indicate that the current backlog is caused by this change. Apparently, the Region is tied up with handling these NOFs and responses. It is hoped that things change in the near future."

i called about my case. They will continue to do temporaries and special handling cases for the next 2 -3 months since the incoming volume hasn't reduced. After that they will pick up processing starting dec 17. So lets all take a hike and come back. good luck to everyone.

Incoming Volume......
The incoming volume will increase again from Oct....with new H1 quota is it not. Why should there be a huge volume now when they have reached their quota?
If the case numbers are being given in serial order. I have seen one Jan case and my June case there is a difference of 3000...it is not a huge number! They should be able to work and get them sorted out in a matter of months.
Any inputs on the case numbers?
