Any May approvals?

Hi Guys,

I see from the tracker that the following two users from April still have their LC pending:

MilindP
indgc123

Any news from you guys?

Any news from may 2002 filers? I talked to my lawyer and their is no news yet from NJ SESA.

I am not sure if NJ SESA will process may 2002 cases or send them to Backlog Elimination Centers.

PD: May 7 2002, RIR
 
Hi Sai_ani,

According to my attorney, my case was filed on Mar 28 2002 (not sure whether this is SESA recd date or mailed date)

After putting pressure on my attorney, she sent a letter to NJ SESA seeking status update on my case last week. I'm waiting for the SESA response.

I'll update you as soon as I hear from them.

Note: All other LCs filed by my employer prior to my case were directly forwarded to NY DOL without any notification to the employer/attorney. For those cases, my employer received queries(prevailing wage) and subsequently approvals directly from NY DOL. Not sure about my case.

Thanks
ind

NJ DOL Query

My case was submitted on May 6, 2002. Got a query from NJ DOL.

They want following things :

- Justification each skill set for the job
- Justification of experience for the job
- Advertising on office notice board for 10 days
- Raise salary to prevailing wage (94000 :)

Has anybody had this type of problem? I would really appreciate the response.
 
Hi Njlabor

Mine was also filed on May 6th 2002 in NJ, I checked with my attorney yesterday she told DOL will be working on my case in the next few weeks, I will let you know if I hear anything from them. $94K for me it appears bit high salary, do mind telling what skill sets you mentioned?

Thanks

NJ DOL Query

Oracle, ASP and Data warehousing

The query is long and has lot of points. It says that the required experience shown is unnecessarily restrictive. But at the same time it says that the salary should be that high. So answering this query is going to be a tight-rope walk. Plus somebody (my attorney or my company) goofed up and gave a wrong federal id number for the company.

I heard from some source that everybody is likely to get the query from DOL due to the possible outdated submitted info. If you got the query that was a good news because at least your case has been processing. I am afraid that might be true and it might even increase more backlogs.

I always thought that the query will be based on the following guidelines
- If the applications where the minimum stated experience and education required is at least a bachelor's degree and three additional years of experience or a master's degree and six additional months of experience. If the education and experience requirements for such applications meet these criteria and proper recruitment was performed prior to filing, the Memo directs them to be certified without retesting. In other words, the Certifying Officers are not to look at current labor market conditions when certifying these cases. These cases will only be reviewed for the adequacy of the recruitment performed prior to filing the RIR case.

- The second category is for labor certifications in which the minimum requirements for the position are below a bachelor's degree and three additional years of experience or a master's degree and six additional months of experience. The Certifying Officer must review the application to determine whether the recruitment report has sufficient detail and demonstrates that recruitment was adequate. If sufficient, the labor certification will be certified. Because cases that fall into the second category are subject to the retesting provisions, it would appear that the Certifying Officer is permitted to look into current market conditions in making the determination as to whether retesting is required or whether to simply certify the case.

labourMay02 and njlabor_may02 did your case fall into the first or second category?

My labor was filed to NJ on May 20 2002. I still didn't hear anything from my lawyer.
 
State cleared

I got an update from my attorney yesterday. My case got approved by NJ SESA and forwarded to NY DOL on Aug 13 04. My filing date was Mar 28 02.

I checked AVM few days ago and found that my case along with two other cases applied by my employer were received by NY DOL on Oct 14 04.
It took 2 months for my case to reach NY DOL from NJSESA.

Thanks

Query details

My case falls under bachelor plus 4 years experience.. The biggest mistake was that the attorney reported a wrong federal id number in the case. Plus the attorney has taken all the skill sets in my resume and put them as requirements in the job posting. I did not know enough about the process at the time. The officer has remarked that the posting seems to be tailored to the alien. Even now my attorney has asked the write-up on the query from my company. I am totally unhappy with her.

Can I change attorneys midway in the process. I have a feeling that the attorney somehow is not capable of handling this case.
