IL EB3 November 2004
Gcdedo,
I also filed in November 2004. My attorney says, he has not got any confirmation from DOL cos, IL SWA/Chicago stopped reviewing cases at that point and forwarded then all to DBEC. So, other than my attorney's word, I do not have any other proof that my case was submitted to DOL. So, I am assuming my PD is November 2004.
Since, you said your PD is December 2004, I was curious if you received any confirmation letter from DOL specifying your PD when you submitted your LC. Obviously now you have received your 45 day letter. Congratulations!

H1-B Transfer with 8th Year Extension Pending !!
Hi,
I know this question is off the DBPC but i need help so please dont get annoyed.
A question for the Gurus/Attorneys
I am on my 7th year extension as of now. Labor petition (RIR from IOWA )filed with my current Employer A Dec 2003 ( RD Jan 2004 ) pending in the Dallas Backlog Processing Center .
My 7th year extentsion expires on the 1st of May 2006, and my 8th Year extension has been filed with the current Employer A.
Employer B wants to hire me.
Q1> Can Employer B TRANSFER the H1B once the 8th Year extension has been approved with Employer A.
If Yes then :
Q2> Can Employer B get Extensions after the Transfer of H1B from Employer A since they would have filed my PERM (Ad's are already running for a while now ) before the 1st Of May 2006 and it gives them more than 365 days ?
Please advise.
Thanks

why only Jan&Feb'04 Texas cases have not recevied 45 ltr but March04
Am100&immi_seeeker
Wondering whether BEC had misplaced Jan &Feb 2004 Texas RIR cases or what?, why only two months cases have not received 45 days letter until today, my attorney is useless, he would not find out anything.
AM100, is there any way you can ask your lawyer to check status with BEC?

some thoughts
As soon as my lawyer replies to me with my case #, I will let you know.
On a different note:
I look at all dates of the PDs and the approvals and cannot help wondering if the reason we cannot predict when the case is going to be approved is mostly in the Human Factor.
1)For example, how clear and concise the case is presented and how much evidence is provided. Picture this: probably 70-80% of DOL employees are not very experienced or newcomers and 20-30% of DOL employees are the old-timers. Junior DOL employess go through the cases on FIFO base, but only if it's a straightforward case, where they feel comfortable about making a decision. If the case is not so clear and straightforward, then they put it on the table for their bosses to decide, who are already superbusy and whose pile of cases is growing bigger every day, plus they have to go to all these meeting, write the reports and etc. So some of the cases end up in this pile and stay there for a long time.
2) Maybe the name of the immigration Law firm which prepared the paperwork also makes a difference. Maybe DOL knows who is reliable and trustworthy and who does a more questionable job. Maybe they sort the cases based on that too. I have heard that some law firms have a special relationship with INS and DOL (I don't know if it's true or not).
3) Maybe again it's how well the case is presented. If it's well organized and
clear-cut, DOL employee can quickly make a decision, without double-checking if it contains enough evidence or not to approve the Labor.
4) Maybe it is whose table it ends up on. I can totally picture DOL having a department meeting, where one team goes through 1000 cases per week and another team through 100 cases per week. I wonder do they write their "attainable goals" - like "make a decision on 10 cases per days" ?
I am just throwing out some of my thoughts to you, guys. I have been thinking about it for 2 years, plus I had enough experience with the Corporate America and how it works.
However, if it's really the Human Factor, then there is no way to predict when a case will be approved.
Good Luck to you all,
Leina.

Status After 45 day notice
Hi Gurus,
what should be the status of the app after 45 days letter notice has been replied to. My attorney requested for a screen shot to extend my H1-B. The case status says 'Data Review'. What does that mean ??? Is this the correct status. I tried looking for posts on this issue, but not much luck. Would appreciate any replies.

same here. My attorneys wont contact DBEC until I need the H1 extension. I am just concerned that the 45 day letter can get lost in the mail, and DBEC can close the case if they dont get any response. I am seeing lots of approvals for late 2004, so wanted to reach out to other TX cases to check if they have recd 45 day letter.
Folks - any ideas on how we can figure out the status of the 45 day letter? I know there are a lot of big corporate employers in TX who have numerous cases pending at DBEC. Guys, please provide any updates?
