Is he nuts or what? Hopefully it should not create problems. It will not be a problem if you have traveled out side the US after that. Statuses are checked from last entry only.shaaka said:to icarus and gurus for advice

In worst case there is provision called 245(k) which will cover such incidents upto 180 days cumulative.
No do not change that. Let it be. No harm. Did you go out of US after that date?shaaka said:Most probably i will correct this in 485 stages with no "UNEMPLOYMENT" mentioned. What about pending labor? Will there be any issue in labor approval?

helpwithGC got approval for PD Jan '03 and he has also confirmed that its not special handling case ?
It seems that they started processing of RIR cases for year 2003. Hope all of us will get soon..

geekwantsgc said:I finally heard my labor was "certified" on 29th from SF DOL regional center [in line with GP111's prediction]
Case No: 95604**
PD: 14th May 2002
RD: 24th April 2003
I am in a dilemma now.
As per
My question is... what is the worst case scenario?
According to what I have already read and understood - I might get a RFE to convert my 140/485 from EB2 to EB3. Do you think this is true?
What are the chances that my I-140 will be rejected and hence my I-485?
Thanks for any help.
-Regards

Congratulations for your labor approval. You are one of the good knowledged persons and you helped many with your accurate replies. I observed that you are so matured and you know for which you have to respond and ignore. I appreciate your positive attitude towards the current labor approval process, where has most of us blame the current labor approval process.
I wish for your next 2 steps. Congratulations!!!

starzborn2000 said:I have three questions: 1) Is my lawyer correct in stating that I have to withdraw existing backlog center non-RIR (traditional) application if I cannot change my job title? Yes, that's correct 2) Should I refile under PERM if I have to withdraw existing application? It looks like Dallas BEC has not started work on SWA cases and I think it will take at least 2 years before they touch my file. Unfortunately, that decision rests with you and your attorney. I do know that PERM isn't without its shortcomings and problems and many are being advised to stick it out with the BEC and just file extensions on H1-B1 3) My 5 year H1B expires in Nov of this year and my firm says that paperwork to file PERM takes them 3-4 months. We might be able to apply by end of October. What happens if my PERM gets rejected the first time - if I refile PERm a second time can I keep my PD of March 05 from my traditional labor application or do I lose it if PERM gets rejected the first time? Then I will not be able to file for 7th year H1B1 extension because labor has not been pending for 1 year. That scenario may best be addressed by the attorney. Not sure on this end.
Thanks.

If your case is RIR and you replied to 45 day letter on 4/6/05, your case should be in the queue. Queue is moving a little faster than in the past and it may not be very long before PD's move into 03.GCFromOHIO said:Hi Icarus,
You have been doing a great job in providing us the latest information. Since you were mentioning that the current LC processing in Dallas has moved to 11/02, I want to make sure that Ohio is also at the same date. There was a previous post by 'HELPWITHGC' about his LC having PD of Jan 03 approved. I wanted to make sure if I will be hearing shortly anything regarding my LC. If not, any comments on expected date of my labor approval will help me lot.
Here are my details.
Details: EB3 RIR from Ohio
PD: 03/18/2003
RD: 04/05/2004
Received 45 letter from Dallas BEC on 03/18/2005
Replied to 45 day letter on 04/06/2005
Case #: D-05007-13XXX
Thanks,
Although efforts have been made to enter cases in order, BEC is somewhat handicapped by the way each state boxed up cases. Also, a case may have had data entry completed and the 45 day letter sent before another similar case close to the PD date has had data entry completed.WellWisher007 said:Dear Icarus,
There are many cases from Nebraska beyond my PD of Aug 2004, certified at state level, which have already received a 45-day letter. Do you know why there are such consistencies?.. Some cases are case-entered in an abbreviated manner however some are fully entered.. I can understand it for different state/region cases.. However, I simply do not understand the inconsistencies within the same state/region cases?.. Please give ur insights..
Also, in your reply, you meant 'paper app' = 'RIR appl', right?. Please clarify
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
WellWisher
