Is all this RIR cases made to regional? or SWA inclusive. I saw somewhere in this forum after Apr 2001 next RIR case would be "CA" May 2002. Now i see different numbers.

 

[GCSyndrome]

I remember reading that CA RIR cases with RD (not PD) of May 2003 and after were moved to BEC. all earlier cases are processed by SF DOL. Am I right?

These are # of NON APPROVED RIR Cases in Regional Offices (SWA not Included).. I Don't understand your second Question.

Watch out this post from ZB earlier in this forum. Please read the colored one. How does he got 2000 RIR cases pending from 2000-2001.

April 30 2001 was the last date for filing in the 245i clemency petition for illegal immigrants signed by President Clinton (as per what my memory serves me)

It is possible that many of these were RIR cases (though should be a small %)
As per the xl files of cases released by BEC there are around 2000 RIR cases pending from 2000-2001. If we consider the worst and say that all of them need to be processed before we move from 04/2001 on the RIR queue (believing ICARUS) then it should take 2000/90 ~ 23 days (4 1/2 weeks) to go past this point.

BUT

Once we pass this date, RIR queue should be directly jumping to the CA cases filed in May-June 2002 (PD) as these cases were the oldest in the DOL backlog queue (excluding 245i cases)

The problem is the 2 CO's (Certifying Officers) DOL needs to put more CO's there if they want things to move.

my tuppence..

Icarus, your comments will be appreciated...

I don't know how he got 2000 RIR for 00-01.. Also California RIR are not the oldest in BEC. There are States like TX, MD, NJ etc has older cases in BEC then CA.

The numbers I got are from the Access Data base.. Also One other member (Sorry I forget the name...The real credit goes to him) has created this worksheet which shows the distribution of RIR & Non RIR cases.. I am attaching the same excel file again.

May be you guys are right...So 30,000 RIR cases that made to regional are there before Jun 2002 which is my PD...

This will take forever even 200 analysts processes the case...

Approval in few months is a joke...May be i will get my labor approved in couple of years...


Anyway thanks for all your information. This is really a good information.

There may be some less cases at BEC then in this File, which are already approved by SF/NY/Boston DOL recently (since they updated this info)..& April-03 RD cases which SF is still processing...I would reduce number by about 5000

 

[sunny_18]

What about Traditional or Non -RIR case?

Hi, all the posting on this forum only talks about RIR cases which have RD. But does any body know about the cases which are in Traditional or Non - RIR and which only have PD not in federal state.

 

[Zany_Brainy]

What is your query?

Those are number of Pending RIR cases at Regional Offices.. SWA cases not counted !

I think you are making a mistake.

Please post your query.

Thanks
ZB

Look at the query used

select convert(datetime,convert(varchar, datepart(mm, Rec_local_office))+'/01/'+convert(varchar, datepart(yyyy, Rec_local_office))) as PD,
count(1) as total
from Perm
where (Last_Sig_Event is null
or Last_Sig_Event in
('Received Regional Office',
'NOF Issued',
'Remand Issued to Employer',(REMANDED)
'NOF Rebuttal Received',
'Remand Issued to State', (SWA CASE)
'Reduction in Recruitment Denied', (NON-RIR)
'Returned By Emp after Remand',(SWA CASE)
'NOF Time Extension Granted',(NOT IN QUEUE)
'Returned By State after Remand'))
and Reduction_In_Recruit =1
group by convert(datetime,convert(varchar, datepart(mm, Rec_local_office))+'/01/'+convert(varchar, datepart(yyyy, Rec_local_office)))
order by 1

The Red items are the errors and the blue () are my comments.

Only the fact that the column Reduction_In_Recruit =1 does not make it an RIR case. That column was marked when the case was entered, but the last event is the latest status of the case and all the items in RED are not applicable to the RIR cases.

Thx
ZB

 

[GotGC??]

Good catch!

That's a good catch, Zany_Brainy! You are really brainy

gp111, are cases marked red (e.g., Reduction in Recruitment Denied, Returned By Emp after Remand) also forwarded to BEC? If so, will these cases also be processed in the same order (PD)?

Btw, sorry I'm not in the loop here, but which "Access Database" are we talking about here, and how do I get it?

Thanks!

are now part of the SWA queue..

Thanks

[hydechicago]

My case was filed both from Chicago, IL. Not sure why there is such difference. Thanks for the info!

Which state was your case filed from. You might want to check with your attorney. My case has a PD 0f 11/2003 and went to regional on 03/2004.
Got my 45 day letter on mid feb, 05. Also Chicago Regional was working on
case with RD 12/03 when they started shipping the case to BEC.

Anyone in forum with RD 01/04 in Chicago received 45 day letter, please update.

 

[hydechicago]

I don't even have info about the case #. Was it assigned to you after it got transferred to BEC?

Thanks,

yap! I can hear you. I am with you in the same boat.
I have a case # around 2 months back and no letter yet.
My case details:
filed in Chicago, IL
EB3
RIR
PD=09/03
RD=04/04
Case# D-050 007 12XXX
no love letter yet.

 

[Zany_Brainy]

I converted the database to SQL server

are now part of the SWA queue..

Thanks
ZB

So look forward to a lot of detailed analysis from me.

Starters...can you believe it has cases from as early as '3/14/1996' in the database.. (I have dumped all the access DBs into one big SQL server database)

More analysis coming soon...

 

[Zany_Brainy]

Cases are repeated..

If we assume that the Case_num column is unique, then the data says that maximum number of cases have been repeated more than once in this databases (now one database in my SQL server) Many case numbers have a count of 2 and 3 in the database..

Here is my guess...

Cases, have been repeated as the data is pulled by year and cases which have moved from one status to another have been repeated again in the database of the next Financial Year (FY)

Still looking...

(Seems to explain the absurd numbers gp111 gave today morning)

 

[Zany_Brainy]

1903 cases

Found 38 cases amongst regional cases which were filed in March/April 1903 can you believe that....!!!! (All are TX regional cases)

Anyway, eliminating them

Thanks

Remember this is split between 2 BEC's

I am attching an XL file with BREAKDOWN OF RIR AND NON-RIR CASES by
year-month-state

So you guys can do all the permutations yourself, by using filters


Points to be considered before you guys get all depressed and all

* This data is from Early Sep 2004
* 8 months have passed and San Francisco DOL (as I know) has processed all the cases (except the remand back to state) upto April 2002 PD.
* Similarly other DOLs would have also processed cases
* What I think is the numbers after the huge bump at 4/2001 (6126 cases) are a little inflated till May 2002.
* If you look at the excel spreadsheet you will see that CA DOL has the majority of cases for each month

Overall I think, there are lesser number of cases pending in BEC after April 2001 than is indicated in the data. That would explain the discrepancy between the 55,000 number quoted by BECs against the 69367 that I find in the database.
