How does "Limited Review" work??

Hello,

I want to know how the "Limited Review" works, will my attorney have to request the DOL to do "limited review" on my case, or DOL will decide which case will qualify for "limited review", which in turn means, it is out of my attorney's control.

Thanks for clarification.
 
SESA makes recommendatin whether to consider a case LPR or not. Uusally, depending on ad response number (no response or few will probably trig LPR).

Your attorney has no direct control, though, a lot depends on his/her ability to choose proper advertising strategy.
 
Is there any way to find out whether my case is under "Limited Review"

Is there any way to find out whether my case is under "Limited Review" or not.

Limited Review

Limited review is actually for a class of cases and not for individual cases. For example, if there is a sudden shortage of Shepherds, Labor Dept. will mark this category as a limited review category and all applications filed under this category will be approved almost instantaneously (1 week or 2 at most). This happened for IT cases sometime back. However, right now, based on economy and job situation, it is unlikely that IT cases will be considered as a limited review case for quite sometime. It is not dependant on the number of resumes or response that you get back for an ad.
 
Limited Review

I don't quite agree with you.

According to NON-RIR date posted on Chicago Labor at DOL website, the processing time is July, 2002. But actually, I found at least three cases under NON-RIR were approved after that, they were submitted in Feb 2003, Apr 2003. And what I learned is that because they were recommended by SESA as "limited review", so they are processed faster.
 
Schattenjager,

I don't agree too. At least 3 different attorneys have explained it to me, plus, if you search web you can quite clear explanation of what LPR is on various legal sites (DOL has one too, I think, though less clear).

I don't think DOL has a wirtten strategy of breaking cases down to "classes" (for one thing, this is a pure form of discrimination on the bases of occupation, unexeptable to US constitutionalism), the whole reason the process is slow, is that revision happens on case-by-case bases.
 
Limited Review

This is what my attorney told me. It is very much possible though that what you guys are saying is correct. This means that there is hope. We only need to find out how to get our case classified as Limited Review case. :)
 
Schattenjager,

I don't think s/he was intentiolly lying. It could be that when DOL knows there's is a deficit in certain occupations, it uses LPR as a shortcut. In this case his/her explanation applies.

As for "making" it LPR, there's little direct actions, you could do. The way I see it, it boils down to Attorney's skills to present as clean of a case as possible (every paper in order, AD campaign with minimal results, SESA hasn't lost anything on the way, etc).
