Dear Sir,
I am sending this email for my concern on the processing time of the Labor Certificate in Maryland. Compared to other states who are processing the cases filed in 2002, Maryland is rather slow and virtually stopped at April 24th, 2001. From the processing time issued by Maryland DOL, it took more than 1 month to process cases filed maybe only in one day in April of 2001.
We understand that the staffing might be the major cause of the backlog. The optimistic estimate is to finish processing April 2001 cases by early 2003, which will put all the cases filed after that on a two years lag. However, it might take another two to three years to complete the application for permanent residency, while most of our H-1 might allow us to stay legally in the U.S. for time less than that.
As most of us waiting for the labor certification are legal H-1 visa holders paying taxes, we hope that we can find support from you to voice our needs and help us facilitate the processing process. There are a lot of applicants out there wishing to help but do not know how. I’d really appreciate if you can let us know if there is anything that we can do to help expedite the process or at least voice our needs to whom this may concern. If fund raising , an additional fee charge or any other means could be any help, please let me know.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you,
