Are you talking about the first time your case is closed or second? What are you missing: 45-day letter or case closure notice or case reopening confirmation? You will not receive anything after your case is reopened, but your lawyer will receive an email confirmation, and you should be able to see either "data review" or "in process" by checking status online.
If you see "closed" and you haven't received anything including 45-day letter, you may ask your attorney to contact BEC. There are specific but different emails for not receiving any communications vs. getting case closure notices. Your lawyer has a point in waiting for the letter, because you don't know what was the reason for closure. There are many possible secenarios and your simple question is impossible to answer, but hopefully this helps.

Prevailing wage
Thanks so much.
You have asked me a tough question on prevailing wage. I am not sure where to find that information. It may be DOL website. One place I found that information is your LCA. Please note that LC (Labor certification) and LCA (labor condition application) are different. LCA is a MUST requirement for an application /renewal of H1B petition. I am assuming you are on H1B. Your employer should have given you a copy of LCA along with the H1B original. Please see page 2 of 4 of that LCA form "ETA 9035E" which should have your current salary and the prevailing wage information in section E. Also try this link for further help http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuick.aspx
I am not sure by your question of "somewhere i read that level 2 is Eb2 ". I know what is EB2, but dont know what do you mean by level 2.
Thanks.

PD 2001 Cases, any hope ?
Hello,
Congratulations to all who are getting their LC approvals. I don't see many 2001 cases getting processed. Is there any hope for those ppl ? BEC keeps saying tha order is FIFO or pseudo-FIFO, but somehow nothing is happening for 2001 cases. My PD is July 2001.
Cheers !

Wow, looks like yours is closed again. You might want to ask your attorney to call the 202 # (you can search for it in this thread). It is a legit DOL number and many people have received valuable info through it. But if your lawyer is unwilling to call - they have weird reasons - you can wait a few more days for the closure notice to arrive.
It is hard to speculate on what was the reason for the second closure, but hopefully it is just missing some information from you or better yet, another BEC mistake. Hang in there buddy, we've all been through tough times.

Greencard lottery
For those of you who ARE NOT from
BRAZIL, CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, EL SALVADOR, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PHILIPPINES, PERU, POLAND, RUSSIA, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM.
you can give it a shot to this. Chances are around 1 in 1000, but I think it beats the Traditional Processing chances at the Backlog centers.

Finally!!!!!!
Finally after a long wait of 2 years and 4months, I just found that my LC got certified. It was "In Process" last night when I checked the status. Any way here is my ordeal.....
Because of my lawyer's stupid mistake for mentioning the salary range with the lower end less than the Prevailing wage, I received a RFE from the state either to readvertise or accept to have it processed under TR. We sent a response with some evidence/explanation and ultimately asking the state to FWD to Regional office as is.
Apparently the application was sent to DBEC. Screen shot said Processing type: TR instead of RIR. My HR contacted DBEC many times to confirm that the case is being processed under RIR and not TR. The inquiry was never acknowledged. After 8 months of waiting, HR sent an email to Charles Daniels asking to confirm the processing type. Mr. Daniels responded back saying "I reviewed your application and is NOW being processed in RIR.
Good luck to all who are waiting for approval.
