Yes, sadly it\'s true
I just got a copy of the memo sent to local AILA members. It says:
--start memo--
Sharryn Ross, DOL Region I Liaison, reports the following information she received from Ray Lopez:
1. As a result of the memo from Dale Ziegler, Chief of the Division of Foreign Labor Certification of DOL, Region I is strongly encouraging and recommending that labor certifications for occupations in the IT industry be filed under the regular labor certification process rather than RIR.
2. The expedite policy applies only to those cases that have been forwarded to the Department of Labor. There is no expedite policy in place for cases still pending at DET.
--end memo--
So it doesn\'t say in as many words that IT RIR is dead in Boston, but it\'s close enough.
Of course, this is terrible news
