Average time after 45 day letter

I am new to this group, i read through most of the messages posted over the last few years. I saw that someone was collecting stats related to Lc's and processing times.

From the stats gathered is there a pattern after the 45 day letter. How long is it taking. I know it is not a easy guess as it is very random, but since we have some stats if there is a pattern it will be great, if we could hear a average.

Thanks in advance.

In B case and adjustment of status they may require copy of pay checks and W2 forms, and I do not think it is completely legal to use second employer and use adjustment of status. I do not see problems to have second process and join them. I would do following: when your PERM is done ask them to file I-140 only without concurrent and ask them to do consular processing. When you get I-140 approved ask them to send a request to National Visa Center that they changed a decision and want to have adjustment of status now.
You will loose one month but ypu will be able to file EAD/AP in this case.
I think that EAD/AP they issue only in case of adjustment of status.

The only thing I would worry is that they may implement retrogression for EB2 category soon and you will not make it.

REMEMBER THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF 90th RETROGRESSION FOR EB2 WAS MUCH WORSE THAN FOR EB3
 
heh

Why are you so sure that is going to be approval? It can be denial.
The probability is 50/50

I am sure of an approval becoz i have an MS (CS) and 4 years experience and the job is also advertised for the same.As of now there are no denials from my company too.so i am pretty sure i will also be approved.i just wanted to know a time frame for that as i am in my 7th year and sick of being on visa and want to get ead asap.Any inputs.

Your own credentials will be not taken into consideration by DOL. DBEC evaluates your employer only and recruitment process for your position, and especialy why your company needs so many positions with advanced degrees.

Is your company large scientific corporation and you are scientist or you have IT position ? If your position is IT related DOL or USCIS may think that your employer's requirements for the position were not fair (MS) and your employer did them just to adjust them to your credentials.

All IT and computer science positions are EB3 from USCIS and DOL point of view. Most of us in this forum including me have MS or BS + 5 years however category is EB3 because it has more chances to come through.

I got what you are meaning by this . i just hope i am approved .after this long wait it shud be worth it to get approved.Can you predict when i can expect it.a time frame seeing the recent approvals.

Again, thanks for your valuable & informational postings on this forum. You're doing a GREAT voluntary service for us.

labor approval after 45 day letter

I was told by my lawyer that once we receive the 45 day letter, the labor approval can take anywhere from 10 to 15 months. Is that correct, if so.. who ever received there approvals recently.. who are not in perm.. can you answer about how long it took for you.

:eek:

That is absolute non-sense. Even GOD cannot give an accurate timeline on the approvals after the 45 day letter. The processing is very random. I know several cases which have been approved anywhere from 3 weeks to a year.

It is all luck of the draw !
 
California STATE 45-day letter - FINALLYYYYYYEEE!

See signature - 45-day letter update.
The attorney received it and called me immediately on vacation in Palm Springs - nice vacation news!!
Not sure what happened to the letter that was sent to the company as we sold that address (on file with BEC) over a year ago - nontheless - the attorney received and replied!!!
 
Your and my lawyers are NO better than us

If we analyse our tracker database, its 100% true that BECs are doing a random adjudication. My 45DL was replied 16 months ago. I stopped asking any question to my lawyer, as on various occasions her answers were all wrong. The best bet would be analyse our tracker.

Help Needed!!

I have applied both Regular and RIR in May 2004, and Oct. 2004. So far I have received the 45-d letter for Regular, and my company signed it for continue processing the case, should my attorney sign it for continue processing too?

Do you think I can combine both Regular and RIR together to one case?

Please Help!
 
My Gut Feel on what is next for all of us

Just my thoughts guys.... I think EVERYONE will be put into the computer (for real) and ALL 45 day letters will be sent within 3 months (allows a little time for delay for some). There will be some oversights for unknown reasons - but I think this will be very few.

After that - I think we will see FIFO (or very very close to this) - as the files should be able to be pulled up in the computer appropriately.

Starting in July (we will know by mid Aug -- hopefully) we should see very fast processing - hopefully many many approvals.

Again - as I have siad before -even if we get an approval - "we ain't go'n anywhere". But, we all do what to desperately get in the next line.

Thoughts anyone?????????????????
