unfortunately, that information is unavailable at the BEC. When cases have their data entered once the 45-day response has been received, the info goes into the RIR (or TR) queue which is maintained back east by the folks at DOL. The PD is maintained real time but no breakdown by year has been provided.sfoguy said:======================================
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,

what can I say? Letters can only be sent out as cases are received and entered. BEC isn't the one making the case transfer decisions as you quite eloquently pointed out. Neither are they the ones concerned with both BEC's being on the same page. If your state has dropped the ball, put blame where blame lies. Take a nap!!sleepless_in_IN said:How in the world is Dallas supposed to blast into 2003 when they havn't sent a single 45 day letter for 2001 RIR SWA cases??? Approval by PD is a BIG FAT myth. It's approval by Regional (maybe using PD dates) then SWA cases (maybe by PD dates). Meaning Dallas would have to go back and do 2001 SWA RIR cases once they are done with ALL the Regional cases up to 2005. So I don't think Dallas has to worry about getting ahead of Philly. I wish Dallas would stop worrying and try to catch up to Philly and just send those 45 day letters for SWA cases (like Philly is!!!) so we can all get in the queue, instead of watching 2004, 2005 applications getting answers while 2001 application sit cos some states decided not to do a thing for a good 4 years!

but those 14.5 k r part of the regional backlog in dallas BEC. if there is like 60k applications in DOL before moving to BEC. it means like 30k will go to dallas BEC. i expect more than 70% of those cases r RIR, therefore the number that BEC will clear at te regional level should be like 21000 cases if not more and not 14.5.I'm right?Icarus said:

Hope to get explanation from our forum GURUS like Icarus, JustWatching. [Three time requested 'Zany_Brainy'...but no explanation]
This DB does not have the entire case list that even went to DOL. My case went to Chicago (also my friends, both RIR cases) from Iowa. Both our cases (also other friends who has SWA cases in starting of 2004 and end of 2003 as well) are not in this DB. I also got email response from BEC saying that no case # has been assigned. So, looks like this DB has cases only which has a case # assigned.
So, the real # of cases seems to be lot lot more than you people are talking about. Am I missing something here?

This is an email from my friend's atty:
Today, I and my staff underwent a conference on the new PERM regulations for labor certifications and backlog reduction information.
As we have discussed previously, all cases that are not currently being adjudicated by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development have been packaged into boxes and sent to our regional center, Dallas, Texas. Dallas does not process the entire U.S. but a sector. There are other backlog centers which are performing the same duties.
Today’s conference was informative and imparted the following information:
All backlog centers are at a fledgling state. None are accepting any status inquiries. Due to the sheer volume of people trying to obtain status information, they have decided to not provide any to anyone. As cases are logged into the system, we will obtain 45 day letters. You and I have already experienced this. These should be done in chronological order. However, that is not the case. Depending on when files are received and shipped is how quickly these are getting imputed into the system. We have been told that there are whole loading areas full of unopened boxes of labor certifications.
Obtaining the 45 day letter does not prove that any actual processing is happening on any case. It merely shows that the box the file was in has been opened and will be put into the system. The officers are currently working on supervised recruitments only. Not on reduction in recruitment cases. This is to train the officers. These are new centers and do not have experienced staff. So they are starting them off on the supervised recruitments for two reasons: first, these cases are older. The back log on some of the cases are 1999. Secondly, these cases are cleaner, easier and provide good learning stock. RIR’s will be tackled when the backlog has caught up to the filing dates.
Our only choice is to sit and wait. When the backlog center gets to your file, you and I will get a 45 day letter. Once we get that in, when they get to his date, they will process it. We will keep you informed of any progress that we hear or any information that is imparted to us about the process.
according to the above given information, there r no processing of RIR cases yet as opposed to what ICARUS said before.so RIR cases r doomed to a long wait. I honestly believe that all this backlog center thing is a waste of time and efficiency.

Icarus!!!
This is exactly what my source at AILA told me.
But it is in direct conflict with what you are telling us.
This says no RIR cases are being processed and you say ~ 90/day are being processed.
All the approvals reported so far have been NON-RIR, and we have no proof of any processing on RIR cases yet.

RIR Approval!!??
From Immigration-law.com
04/02/2005: First Unconfirmed Report of Dallas Backlog Center LC Approval
There is an unconfirmed report by an attorney that a labor certification of priority date April 2001 has been approved by the Dallas Backlog Processing Center. Reportedly the case was initially filed as a regular application, which was later converted to RIR under the RIR Conversion Regulation. This is the first known approval report since the Backlong Processing Centers was established. Stay tuned.
Should we consider this an RIR application or a NON-RIR application?

Zany_Brainy you are amazing in bringing hot news from everywhere...I really appreciate your work...
I think this BEC is totally a joke...I think myself my wait time is over regarding this BEC after a long wait...
Even though PERM (Rejection System) is 100% rejecting all cases. I would give a try in PERM with my new labor and new employer. If it success i will go through that labor otherwise i will come and join you guys...
So many years i was too professional nothing works out..
