Dear Sir / Madam,

Sub: Delay in Foreign Labor Certification Application approval process at BECs

I would like to bring it to your attention the delays in LCA approval process at the two BECs, most notably the Philadelphia. I have been waiting for almost 2 years since the commencement of two BECs and have not recieved our apporvals.

Me and my family are suffering constantly due to these delays. Please take necessary measures to speed up the approval process.

I would be highly obliged if you look into this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
your name
City, State, Zipcode

My PD is Oct 2002 and I am still waiting for the Labor. I am tired of waiting any longer. I got a very good job offer recently. However, my H1 will be full 5 years by May 1. Is there any possiblity that I can start the green card application before May 1?

Thanks a lot for your response.

In my opinion, if your lawyer starts the PERM (advertising in newspaper etc) before 1st May then you should be fine. Get it double checked with your lawyer.
Now, as you have PD of Oct 2002 (you haven't specified EB2/EB3), you may not want to loose that PD. This all depends on your priority, if you want GC faster, then stick with the same company.

How do I start the PERM process

scatcat, Thanks for good suggestion . I am in similar situation ( waiting since PD APR03 ). How do I start the PERM process? Does employer need to start the process all over right from advt.etc? I appreciate the steps you carrried out
Thanks for sharing

I have been suffering for getting my labor approved for over 3 years. BPCs have done very little, case got closed, reopened, marked as STATE instead of REGIONAL and...bottom line that labor is waiting for ever to clear.

Recently I got PERM approved....in a matter of two months. Now atleast I can file I-140 and get 3 years of H1 extension rather than 1 year at a time...better yet I have an old I-140 approval with July 2001 PD which I am going to claim...so I done with Labor pains....

Why don't you all either convert to PERM or apply a new PERM atleast that way you get 3 years of H1 extsns.

Hi T555,
I thought all California cases at Dallas were cleared (Mine got sent to Philly and I'm waiting :( )
Did you receive any NOF at the state level in California?

I am pretty sure that not all California cases at Dallas are cleared because I have quite a few colleagues are in the same boat as me. My labor at state is approved before sending to Dalas.

Hi gth999,

Why do you think that you cannot retain the old PD?

Is it because of change from EB2 to EB1 or otherwise also?

REcently my lawyer asked me to file under perm with my old PD

I am still confused. Please shed some light on this issue.

Thanks

Waiting for ever.....

I am still waiting for Dallas BEC people to clear my case. My case details:

PD: 04/01/2004
State: WI (Cleared and went to regional)
Rcvd 45-day letter on 03/2005
LC Approval: ???

I have seen lot of people with PD later than me getting approvals. Not sure why my case is not getting any attention. Not sure if there are people like me waiting for their LC's

Thanks
