where do u think is the approval now in dallas BEC? for which months RIR cases r being processed and for which months cases r approved by CO's?

i think the table provided before by zainy brany is for all regional cases for both dallas and phili and for both RIR and TR, right?

... in dallas BEC probably there r like 120000 cases of non-rir cases.the processing of RIR cases is much faster than the one of non rir therefore the already entered 20000 cases of regional will be cleared fast, therefore in order to keep the RIR queue full i think BEC will enter the remaining 30000 cases of RIR as soon as possible. ...
Didn't DOL promise to keep both tracks i synch and reallocate resourses from RIR to TR if RIR goes too much agead of TR ?

well nobody knows the right answer.

from what is goin on now in dallas BEC, it seems RIR is completely independent from TR queue. RIR with PD JUNE 02 r being processed whereas TR cases with PD of april 01 r cleared. so from this example, i don't c any synchronisation, at least for now. hope that those 2 queues remain independent.
 
Its only for RIR

The table is only for RIR

The only problem in this analysis is that this applies only to Dallas BEC on the dates whereas the numbers are split between both BECs

Thanks

i think 8 to 12 months is too much for an RIR case in dallas bec. i believe it is less like 3 to 4 months instead. why? bcs the total number of RIR cases in dallas BEC (both regonal and state) is around 50000 cases.around 20000 cases are now waiting for final review or processing.

in dallas BEC probably there r like 120000 cases of non-rir cases.the processing of RIR cases is much faster than the one of non rir therefore the already entered 20000 cases of regional will be cleared fast, therefore in order to keep the RIR queue full i think BEC will enter the remaining 30000 cases of RIR as soon as possible. in addition ICARUS said at the beginning the deadline to enter all data is march 2006 so 10 months from now and DOL said before they will finish data entry by sep 2005 (5 months from now) so it is somwhere in between. just my analysis.

How can you say that Dallas BEC got about 120K NON RIR cases, what is your source? Please update it if that is possible.

why this the guy's RD in 2003? usually RD and PD are close to each other in dates


PD and RD are not close to each other. Ofcourse, it depends on which state a particular LC is file. In CA it usally takes about a year before the LCA goes from SWA(PD) to DOL(RD). Hope you know the difference between the two.

45-day letter

Could anyone clarify the relevance of the 45-day letter from the Dallas Backlog Elimination Center? Is a case in which the 45-day letter has been received necessarily at a more advanced stage that one in which the 45-day letter has NOT been received? How does priority date affect this? I am asking because my priority date (Minnesota state filing) is May 2004 and my Chicago Regional Center date is August 2004. My employer got a 45-day letter from the Dallas BEC in February 2005 and replied to it. Does this mean that my case is further in the process than cases with priority dates of 2002 or 2003 who have not yet received the 45-day letter?

Thanks.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but NO, your case is not going to get any advantage in actual processing or approval. 45 day letters have been sent out of sequence in many (most) cases but the adjudication/approval is strictly by PD FIFO. As of now we have 3 FIFO queues. RIR, NON-RIR, SWA. Though I am certain that as more SWA cases enter the system the SWA queue will be merged with the Regional Queue.

thanks

How could you move the queue to June 2002, when your case is not approved. They might be more people like you in apr and may 2002.
 
I think the cases are in the mail

I am very sure that our cases are in the queue to be mailed out. As per my estimates and the reports of cases from June getting approval (and all these approvals have been sporadic) I think the COs are looking at June cases now.

I have two possible situation for cases like mine
1) Approved waiting to be mailed out/in the mail
2) Waiting for NOF/NOF in mail

I think we will see next week.

Wow! I am visiting these forums after a long time and looks like a lot's been going on when I was gone. But I am still not clear on what's exactly going on at the Dallas BEC. My priority date at SWA Texas was October, 2002. It was approved and moved to the Dallas Regional office on May 07, 2003. I received and replied to the 45-day letter in January of 2005 when the case was moved to Dallas BEC. My case was filed for a Software Engineer position, EB3 RIR Category. Can anyone tell me what cases are being reviewed by the BEC currently under the RIR category? Thank you.
 
Why are Dallas and Philly not working at the same pace?

ZB,

1. How come Philly is still stuck in mid-2001 while Dallas is cruising at mid-2002? Per DOL's numerous communications, the entire nation's backlog was to be processed on a FIFO basis. You've mentioned before as to how Philly and Dallas work differently, but I would think both use a common electronic database when reviewing the paper applications. Why isn't Philly catching up with Dallas? Isn't Philly contradicting DOL's directive from the get go? I am not doubting your analysis one bit, but could it be that Dallas is actually in the same situation as Philly, except for a few stray cases here and there?
2. MY PD is March 2004 and I received my 45 day notice in March 2005, which was sent back to Dallas immediately. How would I know if my RIR application was sent to Dallas straight from the SWA or from the Regional Office? (My lawyer is very hard to get hold of, as all communication has to be done through my company's HR - very slow and painful). Per your analysis, when do you expect my PD to be in the Analysis Queue, assuming SWA cases will be merged with the Regional cases?
3. Any chance Dallas applications will be sent to Philly in the future? Or vice-versa? I would think that it will royally screw up things for us Dallas cowboys...
4. Hope you get your LC approval soon. Its about time!

Thanks!
PD - 3/31/04 (Illinois)
RD - Unknown (Chicago)
45 Day - 03/31/05
 
hi ZB,, Icarus and all

Is there any connection between visa numbers and labor approvals from the bpcs???? i mean ,,, r these dates going parellel with one another???? is there any chance for the visa numbers to become current ???? i just wanna make it clear .... hope everything will start looking good in near future !!!!!!!!!

PD : feb 05
RD :n/a
45-day letter : n/a
 
Is 08/02 the date that the cases were received at the regional offices in Dallas or is this the date that the cases were received at the local SWA? Thank you.

Also, if this date is when the cases were received at the regional office, can someone give me a guesstimate on how long before they look at my case at Dallas BEC? My case was received by the regional office in May 2003, and I replied to the 45-day letter in Jan, 2005.

Can someone give me the details on how to obtain the status on my case from the BEC itself? I saw some mails in one of these threads regarding this. Thank you.
