Dallas Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

If we look at the BEC Tracker, there are cases from Dec2004, which have made it to Regional from State in 15 days time !
Whereas cases, for example in Texas, have been rotting in State for >2 years with no progress !!

I agree it is unfair, but there are not so many of them, who could file from Kansas, South/North Dakota, Nebraska, Idaho, Iowa, Montana. There are almost no businesses there which allow to file for green card through LC.

I was told that some attorneys filed cases from those states because of speed issue but based on the law they should have filed from California and Texas.

I am not sure that DBEC will approve such type of cases blindly.
 
Data Review is not final stage.

For example, under chicago region, before states sent cases to dBEC, the processing dates was like this:

Neb : 2/05
Kan : 1/05
Oh : 12/04
Minn : 7/04
Missouri : 7/04
Win : 5/04
IL : 5/04
IA: 4/04
MI : 9/03
IND : 4/01

so you see, there are regional cases in dBEC from chicago alone even up to Feb' 2005. :mad:

Lots of Regional cases are still pending.

The total number of Regianal cases not more than 55-60K in both BECs out of 350K total number of cases. The ratio Regianal/SWA is around 1/6
 
I found some more usefull info about the case number.

"If your case number is truly D-04258-xxxx, that means that data entry was completed back on the 258th day of 2004".

So guys calculate when your case dataentry happened and expect 45 day letters.
 
Few SWA cases received 45 Day letter recently Check these posts

With the examples and analysis provided by our gurus here, my case especially which never reached Regional with PD : 29TH JUNE 2004, from IOWA, wud be cleared in another 2 yrs and not until then ?

In this case i may have to seriously work on other alternatives...

My guess for Regional RIR cases is end of year not mid 2006

s_chicago said:
SWA cases needed extra care to verify whether recruitment effort met all state standards. Whereas, for Regional cases, state has already verified the recruitment efforts and other standards, hence very little work left.
And so BEC is will clear all Regional RIR cases first and then will work on SWA cases. It may take till summer 2006 to clear all regional cases.

Take a look at the tracker than JustWatching is to meticulously maintaining (thanks a ton!!!) for us. If you look at the Regional cases for October 2003 and later, you will notice that this corresponds, in terms of quantity, roughly to the cases April 2003 - September 2003. That's because the later the date, the fewer cases made it to Regional. If you look at the timeframe it took the DBEC to work on April thru September, it is around two months. Projecting that October 2003 until the end will take the same time, means that they should be done with the Regional cases around the end of the year, assuming they continue at the same pace.
 
DBEC did start to approve SWA cases but there several SWA cases approved by PBEC if you take a look at the tracker.

Senator Rober Byrd

Fucked Up Racist Senator BYRD wants to kill immigration. here is the scoop

"11/01/2005: Senate Judiciary Bill at the Brink of Collapse Unless Everybody Contacts Senators and Congressmen!!!

* The full Senate failed to take a roll call for this bill today. Believe it or not, Senator Byrd intends to offer an amendment tomorrow (11/2/05) to remove the H-1B and immigrant visa retrogression provisions passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee from the Budget Reconciliation Package."

He is a senile old racist ####. for corroboration, look at this piece of news

With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff
For the story behind the story...
Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005 9:51 p.m. EST

CORE: Byrd's Condi Delay Is 'Racist'

The Congress of Racial Equality blasted Sen. Robert Byrd on Thursday for holding up full Senate confirmation for Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice, denouncing the former Ku Klux Klansman as an unreconstructed "racist."

"It's not surprising," CORE spokesman Niger Innis told NewsMax. "Byrd was a racist 50 years ago under the guise of leading the Dixiecrats and he's a non-reformed Dixiecrat today."
 
Brd's Racism proved again and again

Why did the Post protect Byrd's image?

There was a striking passage in last Sunday’s Page One Washington Post story about Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) headlined, “A Senator’s Shame: Byrd, in His New Book, Again Confronts Early Ties to KKK.”

“Historians, political analysts and admirers have long sought to reconcile Byrd’s early Klan affiliation with his image as a pillar of the Senate,” reporter Eric Pianin wrote. “More extraordinary is how he managed to overcome such a blot on his record to twice become Senate majority leader.”

It’s true. Byrd has indeed enjoyed an image as a pillar of the Senate. And given his history, that seems a bit odd.

How do you suppose it happened? Do you think a newspaper — say The Washington Post — might have had something to do with it?

Sunday’s article, based in part on the senator’s new autobiography, details how in the early 1940s Byrd started a chapter of the Klan in Crab Orchard, W.Va., recruited members, appealed to the KKK’s national leadership and became the local “exalted cyclops.”

The story details how Byrd remained active in the Klan for longer than he has ever acknowledged and how, in 1945, he wrote a letter saying that he would rather die than see the United States “degraded by race mongrels.”

It was strong stuff. But surely nothing new, right? Surely the Post has covered that territory many times before, right? After all, Byrd has been in the Senate since 1959.

Well, actually, not. A review of the paper’s coverage of Byrd reveals that, on the whole, the Post has been extraordinarily reluctant to investigate — or even criticize — the Democratic leader’s Klan history.

According to a search of the Nexis database, since 1977, 32 stories in the Post used Byrd’s name and the words “Klan” or “KKK.”

Three of them were letters to the editor. One was a book review. A few were stories in which Byrd’s name and “Klan” or “KKK” appeared but were not related.

Two were articles about Louisiana Klansman David Duke, who proudly cited Byrd’s former membership in the organization. One was a profile of another Klan leader who also proudly claimed Byrd as one of his own.

One was a brief “Names and Faces” account of a routine by comedian Dennis Miller, in which it was noted that an audience booed when Miller said Byrd was “burning the cross at both ends.”

One was a brief item criticizing a Byrd political opponent who brought up Byrd’s Klan membership. Another was a news story mentioning the same incident.

One was a story from 1979 that described a speech by then-NAACP chief Benjamin Hooks decrying the Klan. The Post reported that Byrd was in attendance, but the paper did not mention — yes, did not mention — that Byrd once belonged to the Klan.

A number of other articles contained brief mentions of Byrd’s past, such as the story from 1977 that described Byrd as “a poor boy from the West Virginia coal towns who worked as a butcher, a welder in the Baltimore shipyards and once belonged to the Ku Klux Klan.”

Another story, from 1993, described Byrd as a “former filling-station attendant, meat cutter, produce salesman and shipyard worker — once even a member of the Ku Klux Klan” who had become a “prince of the realm” in the Senate.

You get the idea. Over the years, the Post has often steered clear of Byrd’s history with the Klan.

There were very, very few exceptions, such as the story in 1981 in which reporter Martin Schram directly confronted Byrd over the issue and got an extremely chilly response. Much more common was the admiring Post profile of Byrd from 1999 — the paper was lauding Byrd’s opposition to the Clinton impeachment — which began this way:

“Sen. Robert Byrd is a believer in holy documents. They are the sacred tools for defending his Senate against the savages. The Bible is one such holy book. He learned to read with the King James Version and, seventy-some years later, has little use for any other Bible. Something about modern translations seems to sap the words of their sacred power. The U.S. Constitution is also holy writ. Watch him wield it. ...”

Not until 2,532 words into a 2,779-word story did the Post say this:

“As a young man campaigning for the West Virginia legislature in the ‘40s, Byrd briefly joined the Ku Klux Klan, hoping to gain votes. He quickly quit and has spent the past half-century publicly regretting it.”

The Post didn’t even go on a crusade when, in March 2001, Byrd twice used the N-word on national television. The paper published just one story, when Byrd apologized.

And now, after all these years of mostly soft-pedaling Byrd’s past, the Post wonders how it is that Byrd has managed to be regarded as a pillar of the Senate.

How do you suppose that happened?

Sample Message:
"I am a concerned constituent calling to urge Senator ( name ) to vote against an amendment expected to be offered today to the Deficit Reduction Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 2005 by Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV). This amendment reverses action taken by the Senate Judiciary Committee to increase revenue by recapturing authorized, but never used, visa numbers for foreign workers with key skills in jobs for which U.S. workers are not available.

Sen. Byrd's amendment raises the revenue that would be lost by adopting the ill-advised House Judiciary Committee proposal to raise the fees on L-1 intra-company transferees to $1,500 per visa, which would discourage overseas companies from opening plants in the U.S. and would encourage countries to retaliate against U.S. companies seeking to transfer U.S. managers to oversee their international operations.

Please vote no when this amendment comes up for consideration. If not, the Senate will lose the opportunity to raise revenue by allowing the use of visas that were authorized by Congress, but never used due to administrative delays."

Question

Gurus,

My PD is May 2003 and my case is in DBEC. I haven’t received any status on my LC whereas by looking at the tracker it seems that DBEC is processing cases from Aug/Sept.

Does anyone know what could be reason for this?
I asked my attorney to inquire about this; she said that DBEC is not responding any query. How true is that?

Thanks,
Amit

Immigration bill likey to be put off till 2006

Community!

Here are excerpts from Bloomberg news

Quote:
Immigration, which has split the Republican Party, is also on the agenda next year. Republicans are divided over whether the more than 10 million undocumented people living in this country must return to their native countries before applying to enter the U.S. legally or will be allowed to apply from the U.S.

`Strong Differences'

``These are issues that create some strong differences of opinion within our conference,'' Thune said. ``It's why they keep getting punted down the road. There isn't broad agreement on how to proceed.''

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said immigration would rise to the top of the party's to-do list.

``That's the one most likely to be addressed because public support for a solution is growing,'' he said. ``Immigration is building to the point that you can't ignore it anymore.''
