Re: Request Chicago DOL updates,please...
Even I am new to the Chicago DOL. Can anyone please tell me from where did you get the case number. My employer says there is no way to know what is your case number as they didnt received it. I filed my labor in first week of October.

spark - my $0.02:
it is like this ..at first the LC application is sent to state SESA office, and upon review and clearance by them it will be sent to DOL. Now this 'review and clearance' includes checking the veracity of the position advertised by teh firm, applicability of the candidates credentials for the position and the results of good faith recruitment efforts by the firm to recruit locally available talent for the advertised position.
Now, even if the state SESA office is okay with everything, DOL might request for further efforts/Edn quals ..whatever if they feel so!!!! and so they remand the case back to state!
some very imp things to keep in mind include:
1. ur firm is really profitable with a good no. of employees (my yard stick is atleast 50+ employees, 5mn$+ turnover)
2. You get very good educational credential evaluation
3. ur firm is really in RIR status (ensure that they were advertising for positions to include atleast 60% of ur skills at the rate of atleast one ad per month in the prior 5 months to ur date of LC application)
if teh above three are satisfied, the chances that the case will get remanded are less.

Hi wisc_ladka,
Thanks for your answer.
Will that mean my case is going to take longer than expected or Is this a normal process?
My company has more than 200 employees. My degree is equivalent to MS in US. I am assuming that, they would have done proper advertisement.
Is this happening to every one or at random... Please response
Thanks again.

Hello Guys,
It looks like Chicago DOL and the state SESAs falling in that region are the fastest in processing labor applications. I am looking for a company that would sponser me for the green card, preferably labor substitution if they already have an approved labor. I have a project in hand and looking for a company who would sponser my GC.

Surprise! I was also doing that randon followup! I have the results in the Excel file and I have attached the same here.
Some facts about this file:
1) I was always interested in finding out what was the last case number they had updated in AVM. So it is not continuous running numbers.
2) Off late, I was working on finding the latest cases only. so some cases in the earlier dates I have not updated the correct status.
Couple of suggestions:
1) Since copying the results on to the post directly would make all of us to scroll through the result a lot
2) We can take turns and update the files and
3) most importantly, instead of we doing the random followups, if all the forum users in this thread can put in their cases and status that would give us a lot more information.
Please drop in your suggestions.
Thanks,
Udai
Here is the Excel file:
OH SESA RIR filed on Apr2003 and cleared in Apr2004

Hi AnbuFl,
You got wait atleast couple months for your case to appear in AVM. Mine was forwarded to Chicago DOL on Jan 27th,2004 and still not in the system.

Earlier it used to take 6-8 weeks to enter in AVM. Jan end onwards things have slowed down considerably.
And nowadays it seems they are still working on Nov cases and have not updated AVM after that except for special cases.

Hello guys,
You guys have been waiting for the labor certification as everyone else. So I thought you must be having a better idea about the processing times. Can anyone enlighten me how much time Chicago DOL is taking to process the labor certification RIR cases? Also which SESA in chicago region is the fastet?
Thanks,

To partly answer your question, this web page (http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/foreign/times.asp) lists current processing times for all SESAs. For Chicago region Nebraska and Kansas seem fastest under RIR. My labor was completed some time back under RIR where it took a total of three months (including SESA - Nebraska and Regional DOL - Chicago). Apparently things have slowed down at Chicago lately. Maybe someone else could answer your other question better than me.
Hope this helps.
