My Case # is D-04320-03xxx. PD is 08/18/03, RD is 08/18/04. DBEC Received date is 11/15/04. 45DL replied Feb last year. Mine is SFO DOL case, CA/EB3/RIR case. What I determine is DBEC is not adjudicating the cases as per PD, nor as per RD but could be as per the receive date. Not sure though, as it appears that when they open boxes they seem to take up more cases from that box and it might be later PD cases, for example, March 2004 PD, or later RD cases, for example, RD April 2005. Looks like after doing IL cases, they opened OH box now. These are just my assumptions. The reason to this assumption is that when they were doing SFO DOL cases, they were already at PD Aug-Sept 03. But they did not take up mine, because the received date of mine was 11/15/04. If they claim they are doing FIFO, it might be FIFO as per the received date by DBEC. And it appears that they open all DOL boxes and then start State boxes and the cycle goes like that. As per my analysis of the trackker database, they finished all SFO DOL, Chicago DOL, and after finishing IL, OH, they are at WI now. It also appears that they are taking up EB2 cases of later date, for example March or April 2005. Now I have to wait for my turn when they start taking up SFO DOL EB3 cases again.
