NOF at state level

Hello,

It seems that cases that had NOF (Notice of Finding) at state level are not being approved at the same pace as others. Instead of starting a separate thread for such cases, I suggest that those who had NOF should specify it in their signature. See mine for example.
 
You folks are right on money! I think that is what the problem is.
Mine is 15th Oct, 2003 Regional ,Ohio, 45 days on 1st March,2005. Can you please post in the tracker
There was a NOF with reposting of my Ad from state and was later cleared from state.

One thing I want to share with you folks which I reposted before too.
Backlog is not following the direction and no one is taking responsible for anythink.
We need to write a letter to Michael Chertoff and Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao, copy one to your local representative and Senator.
When you write this letter put CC to above 3 people's name so that they know that we are informing there above bosses

One of my friend is a right hand man of Mike Dewine who is a senator of Ohio, I spoke to him regarding my situation how bad is Backlog is.
He suggested to write this letter to above 4 people to get this turmoil solved.
As per him if he receives 10-15 letter with similar cased them he forward it to Mike Dewine and he signs it send it to Michael Chertoff and Secretary of Labor Elaine and this people will put pressure on his people about what is going on ?
Now in Backogg there is no control, they are still processing the Regional cased which is just a review only . Imagine for state cases, no hope at all for next few years.
If 100 people join this war to write a letter senator and above 4 people atleast Backlogg elimination centre has to give status of what they are doing?

I will start this process, I will do a certified mail to all 4 people in next 2 days.


Any one have the mailing address for Michael Chertoff and Secretary of Labor Elaine
Good luck.

Just a thought - maybe you can add to the tracker a column on NOFs?
(I know - easy for me to write a couple of lines -- but to implement -- another issue.)

GetOneLC,

Did you received any query at state level? Please reply this.. it will help us... I am really gald to know that BEC is approving case with code D-05147-XXXX.
Sunofeast_GC,
Looks like you have delusion regarding BEC approving cases with D-05147-XXXX. It is true that we are seeing some cases getting approved with D-05147 and onwards, but, BEC does not follow Case# but they do take PD in consideration.
For example a case # with D-05147-22222 may have PD Dec 2003 which is not being currently processed but a case with D-05249-22222 having PD=Oct 9 2003 may be in process (or processed already).

Case number gets assigned depending when they were entered in the BEC database. A case with PD=Oct 9 2003 CA may not be having preceding (or) following case number for another case with PD=Oct 9 2003 IL. But both the cases (if there were no RFE's or NOF's) might get processed (assigned to BEC staff for LC adjudication) almost simultaneously.

Hey Guys,

Saturday I found a letter in my mailbox addressed from DFLC Backlog Elimination Center. Big size envelope. As other folks reported, the text is nothing special – a final decision is reached and LC certified. ETA 750A&B forms were not included and probably went to attorney. Letter was dated Nov 7th.

My info

CA/EB2
PD: Oct 30, 2003
Cleared SWA on 10/24/2004
ETA #: D-05147-XXXXX
Screen shot on 9/13/2005
status: RIR
Case Source: State
45-day received 6/8/2005

There are few things I’d like to point out. First, I wasn’t really expecting to get my LC approved in November. My expectation was for this to happen between Jan and June of 2006. Knowing how many people have PD of 2002, 2001 and earlier makes me feel lucky and feel compassion for these folks.
Second, this is a great forum to share information and calm anxiety for everyone. Thank you everyone and keep up the great work.
Also, if you notice the screen shot showed case source as “state” even though the application cleared SWA a year ago. There were few questions on that, it’s looks like everything is Ok and few folks can breath easier.

I’ll still be around but now off to the next hurdle and message thread.
Bless you all and Best of Luck,
GT

Congratulations! GetOneLC!!!! HAppy for you. Good luck for next stages.
Guys,
Looks like prediction made by some member earlier(S_Chicago? or JW?) is observed here. I wouldn't be surprised to see a NOV 03 case getting approval before the end of this week. DBEC must be currently processing mid of NOV03 cases currently. I guess, I am being overwhelmingly quixotic today!

That is an excellent idea. I think adding a column will help the members.If others agree, JustWatching can you please add a column for NOF in the tracker?

Thanks

I confirmed with my lawyer today. My PD is teh PD of the sub labor viz 2001. I am not sure which category I belong to (dont really care about it now), but my best guess is that it was 3rd category.

WhyThisDelay,

I have not got any writing in law book about 3 categories I have mentioned in labor substitution case but very positive about the way USCIS is handling the three categories by going through few cases and analyzing them. So far, I have concluded, the principal that USCIS is adopting is "One labor PD to one I-140", so if PD is already used before you do substitution then they will put RD of I-140 as PD for later stages.

About the second scenario, I have not noticed any actual case but for 1st and 3rd scenario I have noticed the pattern in various forums.

So my conclusion is in case when I-140 is approved and then substituted, RD of I-140 becomes the PD and in case I-140 was never filled, original labor's PD becomes PD for I-485.

Can you please share your I-140's PD and the category you belong to?

Priority Date

My understanding of this clause is that once a priority date is established on an I-140, the PD is for that particular alien beneficiary to keep. If he/she quits that company and moves to another company either using AC21 or without AC21 the PD is his/hers tp keep. If the move is without AC21 a new LC has to be applied for but when filing new 140 if they file a copy of the old 140, then the PD of the old 140 will be the PD of the new 140 irrespective of the date of the new LC application.

The PD is established based on the original LC application because the company declares to DOL that a job vacancy was existing on the date of initial filing of LC and that American employees were not available to fill that job position.

Say a company has two employees A and B for whom 140s are approved. A has PD of 1/1/2000 and B has 2/2/2001. Assume A left the company. The employer cannot request to substitute B's 140 with A's and B cannot claim 1/1/2000 as PD even if the job specs are same. Probably that may be possible if company revokes A's 140 and refiles another 140 petition for B using the LC approved for A as a substituion. (I am not sure if this is allowed by law.)

Hope I have not made this more confusing.

GCPD0102 and WhyThisDelay,

Would you feel comfortable to show this document to your attorney and ask his interpretation ?

:mad: hello
i am a new member.
My case is pretty same as UG's case in term of PD and RD.
But, My is missouri.

after i file LC to SWA in 9-24-2003, Missouri SWA had memorandum in 11-3-2003. Therefore, SWA asked amemdment in my application and my lawer did it and my case was moved to Chicago DOL.

I am always thinking about whether it can be problem or not.

Apparently, My lc is not approved.
 
LC approved

Dear Friends,
At last, I got approval of my LC by post to me, my employer and my lawyer to day. It was signed on Nov. 07, 2005.

Regional Date : May 14, 2004
