Dear Requestor:
The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge your request regarding the status of the above-referenced case.
The new case number is: D-05012-20XXX
The above-referenced case has been transferred to one of the Division of Foreign Labor Certification’s Backlog Processing Centers. At this time, we are unable to provide any status information on Permanent Labor Certifications. All Processing Center files are in the process of being transferred into a new database. Once the data entry process is completed, a 45-day letter will be issued on all applications requesting additional information from the employer if needed.
Please do not request additional status information for at least 90 days after responding to the 45-day letter.
Sincerely,
DFLC Backlog Processing Center
Now does this mean (if needed) that not every one would get the 45 day letter ?

I have one regular labor certification application (EB2, PD Jan 03) and one RIR (EB2, PD Aug 04) application pending with the DOL. Both applications have been shipped to the backlog reduction center, though I am yet to receive the 45 day letters from the DOL.
My lawyer keeps telling me that the DOL would be cleariing both these applications by this summer. How realistic does this sound? DOL has promised that within 2 years it is planning to clear all the backlog. Do you guys think thats reasonable/realistic?
I am fed up with having to depend on this GC issue for making my career plans, hence planning to abolish this whole process by converting to a student visa for a full time MBA program at a Top 10 US Business school.
What do you guys think as a reasonable estimate for me to get a GC from here on, given my PDs as above (the regular EB2 application has a PD of Jan 03 and RIR EB2 application has a PD of aug 04).
I'd appreciate your comments/opinions/estimates.
Thanks
