PD : JAN 2004
EB3/RIR
TX.... No 45 Letter ..........

 

[calabor]

Also, I was wondering if anyone has received their approval from DBEC WITHOUT ever getting a 45DL?. I am wondering if the 45DL is a needed event that needs to precede the actual approval?

Its rare w/o 45 day letter...its almost a must to get the 45 day letter and reply positively.
IMHO, BECs should change their policy of 'closing' the case on no reply, to 'processing' it on
no reply [that is if the case needs nothing further].that way everything will be on queue for processing unless employer withdraws. this was how it was pre-BEC anyway. BECs should know by now, very few employers withdraw.

It is not rare at all. Me and all my friends who are undergoing this process haven't received 45-day letter yet, none of us (5 people). And we are in MI.

04/06/2006: DOL Report of Status of PERM and Backlog Applications Processing as of 03/17/2006

* DOL has reported the following statistics to the AILA:

* Backlog Cases:
o Total Received: 363,000+
o Total Completed: 108,000+
o Total Certified: 50,000
o Balance: 255,000
o Full data entry will will be completed by 06/30/2006 as scheduled.

Says total completed 108k while certified 50k. Does it mean data entry completed for 108k or does it mean processing completed for 108k (58k rejected vs 50 k approved )

I guess "Total Completed" means data entry for 108K cases has been completed so far.

1 year +

If this is true they've just finished entering 30 % cases and issued 45D letter for them...when are they going to enter remaining 235K+ plus and get replies for them and process them....reminds me of 5 yr plans back home

 

[First1]

This post offers one more explanation, adding more to your original interpretation:

http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=209087

I wonder how come they are stating June30,'06 is an achievable target date completing data entry...

I would think it means 'processed' rather than 'fully entered'. 108K fully entered is too low, since PBEC has fully entered almost all of its load which is half of 363K+

Moreover, even BECs cannot be that unrealistic, if they are saying full adta entry will be completed, meaning they'll complete entering[fully] 255K cases in 3.5 months!!

How much to wait or File Parallel Case under PERM

BEC gives new deadline to finish data entry, 45-day letter. I think those are just excuses. We see approval but only 1 or 2 here and there.

Anybody thinking about filling parallel case under PERM, please send email to viveaga@yahoo.com to discuss.

Thanks CAlabor for multiple replies. My attorney seems to be wary of calling DBEC.. claims that previous attempts were not encouraged!.. anyways.. most recent screenshot didnt say anything about the 45DL OR about the case being closed.. I am assuming its been picking dust somewhere. If any one knows the names/contact numbers of appropriate people at DBEC, please let me know the same.

This whole news might be 'April fools joke' after all

 

[frostrated]

I would think that 108k would be the total processed. Otherwise, if in the 1+ years they have been in business, if they were able to enter only 108k cases, then how are they going to enter 255k cases in less than three months?

i would say 108k cases were completed( approved, withdrawn, closed, denied) of which 50K were approved. So we are looking at a 50% approval rate?

Long wait has come to an end. I would recommend people with PD of 01/02/03 to hang in there and not risk converting their case to PERM.

If BECs go by their word and fully enter all cases by june 06, then sep07 looks like achievable target [for most of cases at least)
o since they finished almost 30% in 1.5 years with fewer analysts analysing
o SWA RIR are almost same as regional RIR/regular
o SWA regular might get treated as RIR (or less thorough supervised recruitment, since they are old old cases....DOL used to allow conversion from regular to RIR)....PERM is anyway doing faster processing, doesnt make sense to 'punish' old cases
