Classification as EB2 or EB3

Hi,

I have a question regarding the classification as EB2 or EB3. I appreciate if anybody could answer this for me.

Who decides the LC classification as EB2 or EB3 ? In my application, we have mentioned (in Item 14, ETA - 750 A) Education: Bachelor's Degree in Electronics & Communication Engg or Computer Science
Experience: 5 years.

I beleive that in the employer letter as well as in attorney covering letter, the classification is not mentioned. So, my question is : Is the classification decided by DOL at the time of approval or it is the employer (& attorney) who decides this at the time we file I-140 ?

My case is received at DOL Chicago on 11/12/2003 and I am waiting for my LC approval.

Thanks,

With the information.

RE: 0X0.0XX-0X0 Software Engineer
Employer: Company Name
Alien: XXXX, XXXX

and before this letter i never got case # or anything else. is this number 0X0.0XX-0X0, my case number or something else, but when i tried to find status at DOL Chicago it speaks out 8 digit case number, and the number i received seems to be 9 digit.

Please help me out if this is my case number or not.

rpanwar's question..

The XXX-XXX.XXX that you have mentioned seems to be the DOT code.
Now, to find out your case number, you need to have the employer's TELEPHONE NUMBER (The One that is mentioned in your ETA-750), or TAX ID NUMBER..
If you have one of this you might be able to use the automated e-mail update.
Here is how I got my case number:
- Send an e-mail to lcstatus05@doleta.gov with either one of three things in the text of the message (It is underlined and italicized here for emphasis. People should not underline or italicize in typing in the body of the message!):
(1) Employer Tel #. In the body of the message, please type Employer Phone (555)888-9999 (employer phone number) and send;
(2) Employer Tax ID#. In the body of the message, please type Tax ID 99-999999 (employer tax id number) and send;
(3) LC Case #. In the body of the message, please type Case 99999 (your case number) and send. Only one case at a time will be accepted.

My Case

Is anyone can tell why Non-RIR is much slower than RIR case.

My case: 05414xxx, Received by DOL on 09/27/2002. No response yet. Please add me to the trend.
 
Re: My Case

micahel1008,
In a non RIR case the employer has to go through a process of advertising, interviewing and proving to the IDES that the employer was not able to find any citizens/permanent residents for the position. This whole process takes around 5 to 6 months.
In a non RIR case for the same position the employer would have to provide information that recruitment has been ongoing for over 6 months period. RIR cases are filed by employers where there is constant recruitment going on.

The major reason for the delay is detailed supervision by the DOL of the recruitment process compared to the RIR cases where most of the work has already been completed and DOL has to only review the documents.

Hope I was able to answer your question.

ucn.

ucnair, thanks for your replay

ucnair,

Thank you so much for the replay, it really helps.
Maybe you have been here for a long time, can you tell me how long it takes for NON-RIR gets approved. Most of RIR takes three months for approving. I really have no idea for NON-RIR.

Many thanks to you.

Case Number

Hi Akash Sharma,

I believe that DOL won't send you the Case Number..

To find out your case number, you need to have the employer's TELEPHONE NUMBER (The One that is mentioned in your ETA-750), or TAX ID NUMBER..
If you have one of this you might be able to use the automated e-mail update.
Here is how I got my case number:

(2) Employer Tax ID#. In the body of the message, please type Tax ID 99-999999 (employer tax id number) and send;
(3) LC Case #. In the body of the message, please type Case 99999 (your case number) and send. Only one case at a time will be accepted.

DOL

Hi,
From my experience, DOL posted my case on their system a month after they got it form SESA - so, don't worry.
Good luck and thanks for keeping the rest of us updated.

Any one who's case got to DOL in Nov got approved, yet?
