you are the only benificary for LC, your company lawyer or some from your company has to follow up with DOL to find out what happen to LC HC, meanwhile if you are going for concurrent filing, go ahead and finish Medical and geather information for I-140 and I-485 forms, which can be download from INS or avaible from your lawyer. One thing i would like to make sure, it's your case which is certified by comapring salary info (if auto reply of DOL email is working) and DOT code from your application. in any case ask lawyer or some one from your comapy to call them.

I hope this help.

Thanks for the reply, JBM. I have verified from the AVM that it is my case and the lawyer has confirmed it too. What is the telephone number to call to find out about the LC HC ?

it's DOL number posted on thier web site and i think your lawyer should have that number (it's general #, not to find out about only HC) and the problem is you can not get duplicate by yourself from DOL(if it is lost in mail or misplaced by someone), INS has to request it from DOL, your lawyer should be familair with the process in case DOL certifcate lost in mail. I hope that is not case for you (lost in mail).

I hope this help.

Good luck

Incomplete FAQ on Labor Certification in Chicago

- It usually takes 3 to 3.5 months for RIR cases (for most of IT) and
takes about 2.5 years for Regular from your receipt date
- It usually takes about 6 to 10 days to receive Hard Copy after your case get certified
- If you running out of time in your H1-B (close to 6 years), Is possible to make a request
to DOL officer to expedite your case (give them your request and proof that you're 6 years
almost up) (USE WITH YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE)

- Many attorneys advise that it is better not to call DOL officers directly asking about your case, because it will irritate DOL officer and some attorneys said if they get irritated, they will try to find fault on your file

- Automated Voice Message number 312-353-1059

- (From Nanaji) If you want to talk to DOL officer, the best time is around 8.30 to 9am
Chicago Time
- Currently email lcstatus05@doleta.gov does not work
Here some notes regarding the status

Subject: RE: status line

We have been having trouble with our national status system.
It is being worked on, and hopefully will be backup soon.

In the meantime you can get general information
from our web site: OWS.DOLETA.GOV/foreign.asp

Select Processing time on the right hand side of the screen (about 2 pages down)

**********************************************

- The status is updated on 5 am from Monday to Thursday (according to official)
- Based on observation, the status SEEMS updated on 9 am Chicago Time from Monday to Thursday and seems on 9 pm on Friday afternoon also sometimes on saturday
- (Fron mnew) On every monday, Automatic Voice Message gets updated (very long update). When you call AVM and the phone keep ringing, it means AVM update is in progress

- Based on observation
when DOL officers review cases depends on DOT Code and RIR/Non RIR

for example if you are Prof / Teacher for some college/university
it gets approved very fast , within 2 weeks after RD

if you are IT related jobs, it takes about 3 to 3.5 months
for RIR

if you are chef, it takes about 3-5 months for RIR

if you are cleaner/gardener , it just take couple days after RD
because they have to wait very long time in local

and when they take RIR case, seems they follow the RD
but it depends on the officer which case # he/she wants to
review


- Currently it takes less than 1 month for your cases to be put on Automated Voice message
after Local SESA send it to Chicago
- DOL Chicago WebSite http://www.doleta.gov/regions/reg05...cutxt.cfm#times
- DOL Website for all region http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/foreign/times.asp
- jbm already provide excellent DOL Chicago tracker with the file called "chicago dol tracker excel.xls"



Please give me more suggestion to make this FAQ useful for anybody that needs it
- Many attorneys advise that it is better not to call DOL officers directly asking about your case, because it will irritate DOL officer and some attorneys said if they get irritated, they will try to find fault on your file

Notice in findings

Guys,

Does anybody know what 'NOTICE IN FINDINGS' mean?. When I was checking the AVM system today one of the cases from my company has this status. The AVM states that "Case XXXXXXXX has been received on 18th Feb 2003. The current status is 'NOTICE IN FINDINGS'. Reponse expected by 20th May 2003".

Shed some light guys.
 
it's samilar terminology as REF from DOL, they need some information from your company, they suppose to send some paperwork to your lawyer or paperwork, and you need to reply ASAP or atlest before the date it was mention on NOF, please work with your lawyer to resolve that thing. it might something simple as you need to send some addtional information about recuritment process (if you are going through RIR)


Thanks,

JB

Congratulations Ibukun on your husbands Labor approval, and all the best for the rest of the process !! Congrats and best wishes to rkolmi too. See you both in I-140 forum.

BTW it would be helpful insight for others if you could share whether you are going for concurrent filing, CP etc, and your rationale behind choosing the option.

Best of luck to everybody else, hope your labor gets cleared sooner rather than later!!
