hi everybody.....,

I'm an old timer with RD05/2001....with no RFE or any response from BCIS whatsoever, therefore i contacted my local congressmen....and they told me this:

Your case is being reviewed by the General Council for the authenticity of the Labour and give them atleast 6 weeks for any response.

could someone pleaze through light on this statement and tell me what is going on with my case.

i'll really appreciate your response,

cheers.
 
Seems that they are trying to check the validity of your labor certification. But this is my guess!
 
well pork chop and all the other gurus...,

do u know anything 'bout this situation........!!!

its been quite an experience with BCIS now.

cheers,
 
this is a new one...

we have heard of security/background checks, but revisiting the authenticity of LC, that is a new one for me.

taking a wild stab at it, some of you will recall that on march 13, 2003, BCIS released a list of employers that had violated the provisions of the labor condition application (LCA) for H1B visas, and were barred from filing any employment-based immigrant or nonimmigrant petitions for varying lengths of time.

i will hasten to add that your case might not have anything to do with this (which was limited to nonimmigrant visas only), but simply that BCIS is being more curious about labor certifications in general. and it could be that they might pick a few cases at random for additional scrutiny; it might not have been anything special in your case to catch their attention.

again, repeating, this is just a very wild guess. if there are any others out their with a similar experience, please post!

sks052001, chin up, and i wish you the best of luck!
 
Pork Chop. In this case what exaclty was BCIS checking in the approved LC. If is has been approved then could the BCIS deny the 485 ???

Where can I find more info about his list of Employers which BCIS had ?
 
since you didn't mention if you have switched jobs under AC-21 portability, i am assuming that it has nothing to do with that; and nor does it sound from the words "authenticity of labor" that they would be comparing actual job responsibilities with the conditions specified in the LC.

as i said before, this is a new one for me. i cannot think of why they might want to re-visit the labor cert. is there anyone out there who knows anything more about this? please post!

as for the list of employers barred from filing employment-based immigrant and nonimmigrant petitions, you can get more info about it from Matthew Oh's wonderful website at www.immigration-law.com , click on "Breaking News", the look for his posting entitled: "03/21/03: Impact of H-1B Labor Condition Application Violations on Employer". there is a link in this posting to a BCIS .pdf file with the list of employers.

again, i will mention that these employers were found violating LCA conditions for H1B visas only, and might not have anything to do with your case.
