I heard that BCIS is implementing a new process for labor certification PERM from late 2004. Does anyone know about this process? Does it promise to take much less time than that is being taken right now (2-3 yrs in many states)? Does it need to go through the same stages (state and federal) of LC?

Actually, DOL is planning on changing the labor cert process in this way.
> Does it promise to take much less time than that is being taken right now
That is what they promise, but from the experience with the introduction of 'Reduction in Recruitment', (supposedly their fix to the ills of labor cert) people are pretty convinced that they will f___ this one up as well.
> Does it need to go through the same stages (state and federal) of LC?
The state labor agency doesn't seem to be involved in the process beyond providing a 'prevailing wage determination'. (similar to for example an H1b).
As perm is set up, most LC's are supposed to be processed in <30 days. Only cases pulled for 'review' will take longer. (and guess what, pretty soon they will pull 90% of cases for review and we are back to square #1)

Hi
Please update me with all you know latest about PERM?
My company is filing GC from NH and I understand that if PERM applied old cases will take their own sweet time and as far as new cases are concern they will move in fast pace
Also i heard that old cases will be taken care first and if my case has been filed recently so I will be the last one
Lte me know ASAP
