Anyone applied in IOWA around March 2004 and moved to Dallas BEC still awaiting approval/approved?
IOWA - Case Closed
Hi bostonian_27,
My PD is June 2004. My case is under EB2/RIR. On July 31st 2006 Dallas BEC replied to my attorney that my case was closed. After attorney contacted BEC with proof they accepted the mistake and re-instated the case with original PD.
My attorney is worst than BEC. She just told me that case was re-instated and did not provide any furhter details like when it was closed and when they will start processing the case, what was the reson for closing. So I'm hoping that the case was really re-opened and the closure was not due to failure by my attorney to respond to any previous communication from BEC.
I know a guy who applied at IOWA SWA somewhere around same time and did not receive 45 day letter and last week he received the labor approval. I hope this is the case with you and not like mine.
Good luck!

45 day letter
Hello DilDol
Thanks for the info. Did you check with the attorney if they recieved your 45 day letter. That could be one reason why the case could be closed and have to be reopened as you mentioned. But make sure the attorney took care of it.
I didnt hear anything from my company/attorney about my labor approval yet. But I heard the cases approvals are very random. Is that what everyone else sees?
Could anyone else applied in IOWA around March 2004 respond if they recieved approval/45 day letter please.
Thanks.

Sorry, I sent another email to my lawyers for details on recruitment process, I haven't heard from her.
On your specific case, if I remember correctly, recruitment process only happens at the state level. You don't have to do it again at the regional level.
Thanks, TiredDesi !
Thanks, TiredDesi !
Somewhere I read that the system will generate recruitment authorization letter, then lawyer has to send draft ad format to DBEC, the DBEC officer will send back approval. Only then the lawyer will start the AD process.
Just wanted to confirm if they are following this crappy process, while they approve RIR cases blindly. Shall appreciate your further update, please.
Thanks !

Atleast Philadelphia seems to be following a pattern of approvals whereas the Dallas BEC is doing mostly 2004 and once in a blue moon 2003 cases.. all is forgotten about 2001 cases! Where is the concept of FIFO! The people who filed in 2004 and 2005 (sorry, nothing against you personally) are getting approvals versus 2001ers. People who filed in 2004 cannot file I-485 because of retrogression, and those who can, are stuck in labor department! Backlog is growing exponentially at various levels now!There is nobody to ask! Emails sent for screenshot are ignored.. Employers/attorneys are helpless!
If we know what the trend is, we can wait for our turn.. But if it is a case of random selection of cases that are approved, what can we do?
Any analysis on the current trend in Dallas BEC?
Case at Dallas BEC, EB2/RIR/CA
45 day letter replied and received at Dallase BEC 7/21/06
Labor approval : Waiting!!
lViswa,
At this time I don't think any of us can offer anything other than sympathy. Anyone would shudder to be in your shoes - waiting for 5 years just for the labor is like spending a sixth of your life hanging by a thread.
One update though - you can't file for I-485 at this time, even if your labor got approved because EB2 is unavailable.
As for the trend - most of the approvals are in late 2004 these days. There was a distinct trend earlier, that when they issued a 45-day letter, the approval came within 2-4 weeks, sometimes even earlier, and rarely later. No more. I notived about 4-5 approvals in the last 2 weeks - most were Nov 2004. Some had 45-day letters replied in May, some in July.
My labor got approved!

BEC case status checking
Do you have any idea where to check the pending BEC LC status online? Actually I wonder if the system is up and running now. It seems there is a temporary periodic of time during which some of us tried it. If it is still not up, do you have any idea when it is going to be available to those unfortunate people like us
Thanks a lot.

I Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After almost 2 years my lawyer wrote me and told me my LC was approved. What should be good news is causing me a lot of grief. The problem is this: I work(ed) for an office that had a contract with the county to provide services. On June 30, 2006, the county gave that contract to a new provider. Although my job, title, responsibilities etc are the same, and the door has the same name as the old office, the new employer obviously has a different federal taxpayer ID # etc. My lawyer says she has NO idea if the I-140 will be approved. Now what do I do? I have another job offer that I accepted under the belief that I would NEVER get my LC. Do I pay the money and hope but let the other job go? Any ideas anyone?

PERM replacing RIR with same Priority Date?
Gurus,
Need your help very urgent. My employer is going to convert 2004 RIR to PERM and mentioned me that i can still have same Priority Date.
1. If i apply by perm can i still retain Priority Date?
2. Is it good idea to take this step now?
Please advise me.

My employer told me that RIR cannot be converted to PERM..instead they will file PERM separately..it's called dual filing...whichever gets approved first, you get that priority date. This can be good for people from non-retrogessed countries.

If you receive a screen shot or approval please make sure that your name is spelled correctly. My first name as well as last name was misspelled. Attorney did send request for correction immediately but knowing DOL's way of working I'm not sure how they will butcher the spelling of my name while trying to correct it.
EB2/RIR/ PD: June 2004 (case re-opned July 31st 06)
