don't sound correct.
if we have only 10K cases till 2002 then balance ~190K has to be there in 2003 and 2004. May be ... who knows.. :confused:

These are just Regional Cases (Cases those made to RO from SWA)...

It looks like the total active cases in the queue in their database when they picked up for uploading. (I am just guessing)
Active: Response to 45day letter entered into the system and classified.

Time to clear RIR applications for labor

Guys
i am a novice in all these issues. My math for the time to GC with the RIR process based on information extracted from this forum is as below

Total cases pending = 200000
Dallas BEC would take , 100000 ( approx)

1/3 of all applications would be RIR. Correct me if i am wrong.

So that leaves a total of 33000 applications in all until 2004.

If we assume DOL does 2400 application approvals per month,

Time in months = 33 K / 2400 = 14 months.

So for someone who filed in say December of 2004 , they can expect the labor approval in June 2006.

Hope this dream realizes.

there r more than 300,000 applications pending and not 200,000. what remains from the 300.000 after getting the 45 day letter still unknown. let's say 250,000 will remain . around 1/3 r RIR= 90,000 RIR exisist. so say 50,000 will go to dallas.so 50,000/2,500=20 months.so for somebody who applied in dec 2004 he will hear in around 1.5 yrs fom now which is around nov-dec 2006.

What r these no.s you posted? if they are not in BEC

Fy 2000
Total Pending Cases : 2738
RIR Cases : 1049
TR Cases : 1689
Fy 2001
Total Pending Cases: 2085
RIR Cases: 1095
TR Cases: 990
Fy 2002
Total Pending Cases: 5882
RIR Cases: 3910
TR Cases: 1972
These are all based on PD

Were these numbers taken just from the FY2000, FY2001, and FY 2002 files? My friend's case has a PD of 2001, and I found him in the 2004 file. Maybe because that's the year the case was moved to the BEC.

These cases are based on when the files moved to RO from SWA
PD 2000 if moved to RO in 2004 the file will be in year 2004.
However BEC will process on PD as earlier stated

Do the math on fallowing terms for RIR

Total cases appx 300k
Cases are shifted to Phily/Dallas equally for Data entry so 150 k each
RIR you can deduce from the Data uploaded from dol
like ZB has listed upto year 2002 (appx 6000)
We need for year 2003 and 2004,2005.
AS per ICARUS allready in Dallas BEC has 15k so you can easily assume another 15K would be in phily
Process of RIR is 6/analyst/day* 15 at Dallas=2000 (80% productivity as per TG) Earlier they had predicted 8 cases / analyst.
With this speed 2500 cases/month they must be clearing upto 2000 in next one month once they really ready start set GO.
Give a couple of Months to reach year 2000 and i expect they should start year 2003 by June.

This is exact goal of BEC (finish by 24 -30 months)
 
Lost....Need some help

I have been reading inputs from all you smart people on the BEC progress. I have a few questions and I hope one of you will help me out here even though they would sound dumb.....

1) What is PD and RD?
2) I filed my Labor in Indiana in Dec 2001 and have not heard anything since then. My lawyer says that they are expecting the 45-day letter sometime and will let me know as soon as they receive it. Do you guys have an estimate on when I should expect one?
3) What have you guys guesstimated on the ETA for 2001 Labor completion?
4) What happens once the State Labor clears? Is the state and regional combined now and will they clear together?

Please Please help me out.......Thanks.
 
Is this real..

tsk,tsk-ever the troublemaker :rolleyes:
dallas RIR analysis currently working on PD 4/30/01 (for the 14.5K cases currently in RIR queue as of today) And for those out there that enjoy estimating turnaround times, some figures.....Dallas currently has around 15 RIR analysts averaging around 6 RIR Approvals/day. ((Traditional recruitment has about 2000 cases in queue...turnaround varies case by case.))

So Icarus,
You are saying that Dallas BEC is currently approving/processing RIR cases at the rate of 90 cases a day ? Is that true..can I take this statement to the Bank?

Please just say YES or NO.

I will base my decision to file for PERM or not based on your answer. My PD is May 1 2002 so I am exactly 1 year from where they are on the RIR queue in Dallas at the moment.

Thanks
ZB
 
Number of RIR Cases = 14,500
Number of cases cleared per day = 15X6 = 90

Number of days to clear all the 14500 cases = 14500/90 = 161

Number of working days in a month ~ 20

Therefore, number of months to clear the 14500th case = 161/20 ~ 8

According to this rate, By December 2, 2005, all the (14500) RIR cases should be cleared.

Not bad, if the data and assumptions are correct.
 
ICARUS.....One more questions...PLEASE reply!!!

======================================

Well the question here arises is that in this RIR queue of 14.5K, how many PD cases are of 2001, how many PD cases are of 2002, how many PD cases are of 2003 and how many of 2004??

ICARUS.....If you could give us this information, then we will not bug you any more.........So please share this valuable info as soon as you can.

thanks,
:)

those 14500 RIR cases r the one that got a reply on the 45 days letter (that were mainly pending in regional before going to BEC). Dol sent around 40000 letters(divided between 2 BEC) out of 87000(RiR and regular) till march entered in the system. therefore ,those 14.5 k cases is a small part of the total RIR cases(like 50,000 if not more in each BEC). it will be a long wait for the RIR people.2500 cases/month is too slow per BEC.u need at least 4000 a month.

Don't say ALL cases -- SAY ALL cases that made it to Regional.
exactly, now those 14500 rir cases in dallas are regional. they forgot about SWA. for RIR people in SWA it will be a long time. this system is really screwed up. this backlog center will make more mess than streamlining things.

May 2006 is still far off
File under PERM - Nothing to loose
After filing of 485 of spouse get an EAD
Continue to stay - only option is H4
By the way, the date the visa expires in not May 2006. IT IS MAY 2005. One month from now. I am looking for suggestions, any cases similar to this where USCIS approved the visa for longer time than the eligibility and then they honored it. Any alternatives out there to stay legal on H-1 visa. H-4 would be the last option.

One of my friend is in bind right now and I am trying to find out if there is any way out for him. Below has been his visa status:
May 8, 2005 to Oct 1, 2000.................H-4 visa
Oct 2, 2000 to Oct 1, 2003.................H1 B1 visa approved by INS
Oct 1, 2003 to Oct 1, 2006.................H1 B1 visa approved by INS

My friend wanted to start the green card in January 05 thinking that if green is in file before Oct 05, he can get yearly H1 extensions. However, the lawyer who had done the H1 visa informed in February 05 that they had made a mistake in reporting the visa eligibility dates to INS and that his H1 visa is valid only until May 8, 2005 (including H4 and H1 visas). Though the H1 extension approval shows the the date until Oct 1, 2006, the lawyer says that that dates means nothing and that he will be illegal after May 8, 2005. This gives him no breathing room. He can stay on H4 visa but can not be in US on H-1 visa. His spouse's labor certification is in process, PD Nov 1, 2002. I would like ask if there is any way my friend has a way out to stay and continue working either based on dates on approval notice (which he knows now hss wrong dates.....thanks to his attorney) or under protection of his spouse's labor certification.
Any input will be welcome.

Please note that the date is May 2005. NOT May 2006. I received only two responses and both somehow read May 2006. By the way, the date the visa expires in not May 2006. IT IS MAY 2005. One month from now. I am looking for suggestions, any cases similar to this where USCIS approved the visa for longer time than the eligibility and then they honored it.

Keep in touch. You can send me email: gnodx6@yahoo.com, if you have any information or question (hopefully I can address).

Colorado RIR and Far_East,

My Attorney told me 2 weeks ago that my file moved to Dallas. However, they got state approval on 3/28 and told me it moved to CO Regional DOL. Nobody knows what is going on ? I am crossing my finger if I get lucky and get approval soon. Will let you guys know.
