T= Temporary
They assign T to your case number when a partial entry has been done. Once they have completely entered the entire information, your case will be converted to P #########. Hope this helps.
On a separate note, it seems like many elected officials especially NJ Senators and House Representatives do not know NJ applications process have been stalled from the day they shipped to Philly. I recalled NJ Labor was processing May 2002 (RIR) as of last October. Until today, I have not seen any movement at all. Imagine states like West Virginia, Virginia and Pennslyvania have gotten up to 2003 approval. I have brought this matter to the attention of US Rep Scott Garrett's staff about the preferential treatment for the states mentioned.
I suggest other fellow New Jerseyans to write to your local US Reps in your area or Senators about this problem. Or else, they will treat this as a nationwide backlog problem and we will have to wait for years before Philly Backlog Center starts processing NJ applications. Please contact them now. Thanks.
