Dallas Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

ETA case num : D-05101-5xx43

thanks for providing the number. an advice, go to the edit icon and put x for the last 3 digits of ur case number. it is not advisable to put the whole number in here.i just asked about the first x not all of them.thanks

Hello,

What is the last 5 digits of this new ETA #? Does that mean that there has been over 50,000 cased entered in 2005? Or it is the number of 45 day letters that has been sent out in 2005? And it is the number for both BPCs or just for Dallas?

If in the first 101 days(3.5 month roughly) they have entered over 50,000 cases in Dallas only, then it is likely that they would be able to enter 150,000 cases ( half of the total 300,000 backloged cased) by the end of the summer (Sept.), given that they have already entered some in 2004.

However, I remember that Icarus has said before in this thread that the BPCs are thinking next spring to be the time when they can complete the data entry. Wondering why?

Here are some facts:

1) In the update the DOL gave back on March 3 - 86,000 cases had been entered into the system but only 40,000 letters had been sent out. So at least as of that date letters were NOT going out in 24 hours.

2) Unfortunately, not a lot of people provide their ETA#'s but if you sort the tracker by ETA # and look only at cases entered at the end of March and beyond their seems to start to be some semblance of letters being received soon after data entry. So we could say ICARUS is right as of April 2005 letters are being sent out right after being data entered. This applies to Dallas BPC. I have less data points for Philly BPC but there are definitely more cases in Philly BPC with old data entry dates that have not received 45-day letters.

3) However, there are a few cases with old data entries that have not received 45-day letters. Now this could be attributed to bad addresses, etc. Who knows for sure.

4) "getinfo" case was entered on April 27, 2005. I don't think he has received his letter yet.

I called in 415-975-4617 number with option 1 and again option 1. The system ask you to provide your case number such as 095839xx. After providing your case number it will tell you the current status of the case.

can any body clarify case number

any body clarify case number(ie 095839xx.) . Do we get along with 45 days letter. I got only D-xxxxxx-xxxxx number from my employer.

Please discard 095839xx (This must have been the SWA case number or maybe the Regional DOL case number).

BPC case number in the format D-xxxxxx-xxxxx overrides the above case number and makes it moot. BPC assigns a brand new case number for all existing Regional DOL and SWA cases.

 

[MI_NonRIR]

Please confirm

indu116,
So, your case was RIR and never made to Chicago, right?

Please confirm.

That is SF DOL AVM. Dallas BEC will not update SF AVM.

 

[indu116]

would like to confirm MI_NonRIR question

i am not sure whether mine gone to fedaral or not because i did'nt get any update from my employer. I use to check AVM, Chicago but my case never entered in database ( not even one case from my company since Apr2004).

what I could gather from my attorney is All Latest Approvals He & Other Attornies have received with PD of 2002 are special handling cases. Looks like COs approving Special Handling cases as soon as they get it from Contractors.

How come special handling cases stuck in DOL from 2002 ? If I remember right such cases were adjudicated as soon as they were received. The waiting time was less than one month even during the worst time at DOL.

 

[sbdol]

A lot of good things is happening at INS.
The processing times improved considerably, one may change jobs even before his I-140 is approved. The most recent very favorble clarification for MS degree equivalent.
Only we have stuck at this organization where changes are always for worse.
I am in this limbo 5 years soon and do not remember a single good, let alone good , not stupid action attempted by DOL.

I wander when INS will tell "applicants who wait more than 180 days in the DOL line can apply for I-40 and I-485 withot LC approval"

05/24/2005: First PERM Approvals

* AILA sources confirm that the first PERM approvals were mailed out yesterday from Chicago National Processing Center. The Atlanta National Processing Center also started mailing out the first PERM approval beginning from today. There are at this time two 64 million dollar questions: One is "how many" and the other is "what kind of jobs." Please stay tuned.

Sorry, You have confusion here.

First of all, For Green card, you do not need to work for employer. Green card is for future employment.

Secondly, this rule had always been existing, just that new clarifications have come on it. The employer has the responsibility to respond to any query for the candidate at 140 stage, this is not similiar to 485, which is adjustment of status where you can use AC21. So If you change company, and you get RFE and employer does not respond to the RFE, your GC is screwed.

So, hope I have given clarification enuff, please do not read something and decide in haste and screw your chances. Thats why immigration lawyers exist. I think we all are thinking of outsmarting every one in every proffession.

reply from BRC !!!!! - this sucks

In response to my email - this is what I got from the BRC. My attorney responded to the 45- day letter in Feb'05, BRC is totally clueless and are probably sending out a cut and paste response, so much for pumping in millions to correct the system....

I got the same reply for my status inquiry after returning 45 days letter. May be it is just generic automated reply for all including those received 45 day letter or who never received 45 day letter.
Thanks

 

[jjj8]

I also got the same response for my inquire and, the fact is, I didn't get my 45-day letter, yet.
