Dallas BEC Approval Queue Tracker

data entry complete in about 15 weeks?

VandeMataram said:
Hello all, This is my first post in this thread.

After seeing all the activity on this forum, I requested my lawyer for an update and this was what I got from her -
"I just returned from a conference where the deputy director
for DOL spoke. BRC has approved a few cases where all recruitment etc was
complete, but in general they have not begun processing cases yet. They
are still in the data entry phase. They have entered 190,000 of the
340,000 cases to get through. once all the cases are entered they will
begin processing cases on a first ion first out basis."

Following are my case details -
Filed in Dallas, TX
PD - 05/03/2002
Transmittal to Regional - 11/14/2002
Case # - D-04275-10XXX
Received 45 day letter on Jan 7 '05 and responded on Feb 02'05

It would be great if you could add my info to the tracker and also help me with some estimates on when I can expect to receive my LC.

Thanks

All evidence shows that approvals are irregular and not FIFO, which is because BEC is focusing on data entry. If so far BEC has completed 190,000 data entry cases, it means they completed about 20,000 in two weeks (As of May 23, 2005, the BPCs had entered about half of the cases into their system. http://www.murthy.com/news/n_bacpro.html.). As a total of 340,000 cases need to be entered, the whole data entry would take another 15 weeks, which is close to what BEC originally planned data entry completion date (end of Sep 2005).

Did you -OR- your attorney try and followed up with the Dallas BEC or you just got it out of the blue. My P.D is Sept 2001 and met the same fate as yours in July 2003.

Thanks for any information.

So you mean you got the 45 day letter in July 2003 and are still waiting for final decision? hmmm, I guess the info my attorney told me is kind of expection instead of real request :(

No.... by "met the same fate as yours in July 2003" I meant that my case got remanded in 2003. I have no news about my case after that. Infact there is a tracker "SFO to track Auto remanded cases". I guess yours is the first case among the remanded cases that has received something, no one has received anything till now. I was wondering if you or you attorney had to follow up with the BEC to get to the "supervised recruiment" stage.

Thanks.

Acturally my case is quite complicated. It got processed and denied by DOL in 2003, then my company appealed and the judge has reversed the denial but order my case to be remanded to state. Not until earlier this year did the DOL officer finally forward my case to BEC. I guess I need to ask my attorney to follow up with BEC after a while if there's no further information comes.

Thanks.

This is my Husband's info. Appreciate your help in letting us know where we are in the queue and if you think that it would be a good idea to file under PERM
CA-RIR-EB2
PD - April 27 2004
No info after that. We have not recd the 45 day letter and have no clue as to where his case is in.
Click to expand...

1.Your case will be in Dallas BEC
2.Your Attorney/Employer will recieve 45day letter
(but when is million $ question) may be between Sep 2005 to March 2006
3.Currently we have seen LC approvals for PD dt Aprl 2002 so you have more time to wait, so enjoy atleast for next 6-12 months before you have to really worry about these things (just kidding):)
 
Updated Zainy's Tracker

Seems like everyone is lil upset with the way the queue is moving and not many approvals. I tried updating Zainy's queue tracker with all the info we have and last update from Icarus.
I ignored the 2003 Jan approval and considered July'02 approval as the last approval seen from Dallas BEC.

My two cents to keep up the hope....

where does this data of pending RIR cases come from?

i'm trying to get a better picture on the rate at which that pointer will move down the list. if we assumed no change in the allocation of resources at DBEC, i would expect to see a tangible slowdown of the rate at which the queue head will move given the cumulative sum of cases from late 2002 to 2003 end (my pd is jan 2004). and i have confirmed info about RIR approvals from upto sept 2002. given this info, we can at best make a very crude estimate of the current rate of processing. as more people post the good news and it gets entered into the trackers, we can take a shot at making a more educated guess.

one other factor that would change the rate of this queue would be the completion of data entry (which currently takes a lion's share of the resources) and reallocation of these resources towards processing. one data point that i may find useful is the ratio or headcount of the current allocation in DBEC. Icarus, do you have an estimate for this?

TIA.

DBEC tracker question

I am new to the thread and would like a few doubts clarified. How do we know the number of cases for a given month? My case number is D-05010-13xxx, so I am thinking that my case would be in 13 thousand something for that month. Please help unravel the mystery of the case number.

The data is from www.flcdatacenter.com. These are cases which received in regional office so we don't have SWA pending cases by month (which may change this tracker)..

Also please can you share more info on "confirmed info about RIR approvals from upto sept 2002"

thanks for updating this.. But I just do not believe in this at all. For example if the approval queue is at 7/02 then where is my case, Radhans case, Mnhrdc's case and 1000s of cases like ours?

Nothing to get so much perturbed about hear says

only confirmed posting on this forum with all details was for April 2002 for RIR and rest were posted as my friend got it or Attorney said that. (And another one stray case posted as Jan 2003 which makes every body wondiering)

So it is better to assume the CO Q is hovering around May june 2002 and not beyond (and how can we don't hear about 5k cases getting skipped without any approvals) and I think still ZB's earlier analysis holds good till we see more approvals, and thats my take:)

I had originally filed for regular labor from Kansas in Aug 2001. But with Kansas stopping all regular processing, I was able to convince my company to go with RIR in Jan 2004. We filed the RIR sometime in mid 2004 and my case went to Chic Dol in August 2004.
 
Zanny's Analysis..

Zanny no offense, please.

Atlast, you stopped believing in what was started by you. Did I not tell you guys that it was all random (some test cases). Even though BEC claims that they have started processing, they don't have a proper queueing system yet (Zanny's and other cases are proof of this). I would soon fall into these category once people start posting approvals for August.

Why can't BEC come up with such a queue - a simple Excel would have been great for all this. They don't have to have some fancy system, which they will never.

--------------------

Hi folks,

I'm new to this forum... but my case is not new. Priority date 3/27/2002(from CA).

I doubt even mnhrdc's assumption that the CO Q is hovering around May june 2002. I didn't hear about my case yet after replying to 45-day letter in Feb end. I also know atleast 4-5 friends of mine whose Priority date is around March-April 2002 time. Sorry to say that none of them have approvals yet... that could hardly be any coincidence..
 
Dallas Backlog Processing Center Labor Certification Approvals Reported by Attorneys

Attorneys started reporting approval of their clients' backlog labor certification applications which have been pending before the Dallas Processing Center. The DOL has yet to release the details on the adjudication of backlog labor certification applications, but reports indicate the approved cases are those which had been pending at the Regional Offices before it was transferred to the Dallas Processing Centers. Please stay tuned to this website for the new developments at the Backlog Processing Centers
