Dallas Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

Dallas BEC and PERM

Hi everyone,

My case was filed under Non-RIR/EB3 with priority day of May 2003. My case is with Dallas BEC. I have not received 45 day letter or any other communication from BEC.

My company is ready to file for PERM for my case. I'll start my sixth year of H1 next month. My company's policy is that they would file PERM under different job category. They have been preoparing the forms over last 4-5 months. Earliest they would be able to apply is Feb 2006.

I was wondering if this is the right move for me or not ? Should I wait on my original application or go with PERM ? If my PERM gets approved then my priority date would be of 2006 and that can hurt me bad for I-485 as it is retrogressed and current visa number they are processing is from 2001.

I'm not sure what should do. Wait for the original one or go with PERM ?

Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Sanjay

01/26/2005: Good News for Visa Movement

AILA has reported the DOS advised AILA that "thanks? to" the decrease in demand for EB visa numbers from USCIS I-485 cases and 245(i) labor cases still being held in the Department of Labor, the visa number would progress forward as follows:
Worldwide EB-1 and EB-2: There will be no cut-off date for the these categories.
Worldwide EB-3: Unlike the DOS previous prediction that the large number of 245(i) filings would be filed during March and April 2001 and it would result in a surge of EB-3 number demand and would limit movement of the cut-off date, 245(i) cases still remain at the DOL and therefore there will be movement in EB-3 visa numbers.
India EB-1 and EB-2: It will continue a rapid movement for the next several months.
India EB-3: It will move ahead but may become limited down the road.
China EB-1 and EB-2: It will continue a rapid movement for the next several months.
China EB-3: It will stay at the Worldwide date.
What a good news!

Hi halcyon,
Are you sure your PD and RD are exactly the same? Where and how did you find RD?
I suspect Dallas BEC is slow in processing Texas filed cases while Chicago/Ohio cases are marching forward. Go Chicago.

CAse received date: 11/29/2004
TX/RIR
45 day letter: Noooo
RD: Noooooo

yes
 
That is the date that NSC receives your application, not your labor PD.

This date is distractive, NSC and all other SCs work on dates much later than that. But to keep the enquiry call volumes down, they publish dates which are way back in the past.

You can actually file a new PERM application , get it approved and still keep the old PD or march 2003 ( i think they have to be same job category - not sure on this).

My case also had some issues due to the change of address of my employer back in 2003 and was not communicated to DOL. DBEC asked for new address and G-28. Provided as sought in late Nov,06. DBEC acknowledged the receipt in a couple of days. No news after that. My PD Sep 2003, RIR, IL

Hi All,

I am new to the forum. I did a big mistake without reading the forum so far.

My company attorney received 45D letter and he responded next day to DBEC.

After 4 months i have received a CASE CLOSURE letter saying case has been closed due to an untimely or incomplete response.

My attorney responded back again with the evidence.

I am in starting of my sixth year.

1. How much time it will take to hear back from the certifying officer.

2. Is it better to start new PERM process to get my 7th Year extension

3. Is it better to wait for the closed case re-opened

If any one is in the same situation and got re-opened the case please suggest me.

Thanks for your reply in advance, I am really tensed. please reply asap.
