Guys,
Please see the following information that was posted by Murthy.com -
"Question Three : I heard there was an "unofficial" freeze on the processing of labor certifications filed using the RIR process. What is this all about?
Answer : There is not a complete freeze, but there is a slowdown in processing RIR cases. Also, more cases are being denied RIR processing. Therefore, they must process via the "regular" route, which generally means more advertising and longer lines. This is all the result of the current economy and widespread layoffs in certain industries. The Department of Labor is highly skeptical that there are shortages of U.S. workers for many positions. They will not allow cases to proceed as RIR in non-shortage positions."
Scary, huh?
Anyway, does anybody know what positions are considered to be "non-shortage positions" now (in michigan)?
Thanks in advance!
