PETITION

Subject: Backlog in Labor Certification Processing at New York Regional Service Center.

Dear Regional Administrator:
I am writing on behalf of the individuals who have signed the attached petition and countless others affected by the interminable delays in the Permanent Labor Certification process at New York Regional Labor Certification Office(satellite office). The Labor Certification dates in the New York DOL has not been changed much since May 2004. Most of us are waiting for the approvals for the past 3 to 4 years. Many of our application have been approved by State (New Jersey, New York) months ago.

The delay in labor certification is causing great concern to most of us. Many of our lives are unsettled, due to them being uncertain of the outcome of the pending labor certification. In addition, with today's economy, many of us do not know how much longer we will be able to hold onto our jobs.

We are kindly requesting you to take special attention to expedite the processing at New York Regional Processing. It is important that the backlog in processing the labor certification is eliminated, to allow applicants to continue on with their green card processing, which will allow us to keep on working and be able to pay our taxes.

Thank you for your attention to this most urgent matter.


Respectfully Submitted:

Hello gcwait222

Thanks for your time and efforts. What I feel here is lot of people are reluctant to give their names and information. It is better to ask everybody and their friends to shoot email from their personal email boxes instead of collecting them. For that we need to decide following items.
1. Correct Letter format to email
2.Details of personal information
3.Email addresses to shoot email. (we need collect all email addresses of high officials at NYDOL).

I feel this is better way. If you guys have any comments, you are most welcome to express your views.
 
If a person is not willing to give their name and date of file,are never going to send an email to NYDOL. Its upto you guys. Good Luck with all efforts!!

Petition??

I don’t want to be discouraging, but I don’t think what we are trying to do here will make any difference, because those people at NY DOL are intentionally creating a long backlog to justify that they need until the end of 2005 to process all the cases. If you randomly check the case status by case number in the AVM system, you will see what I mean. It’s true that many cases received in July/August of 2004 have not been processed, but some later cases even received this year are certified. As a matter of fact, the last case in their system, 02514907 received on May 10, are certified on Friday, May 13. Got it? With the implementation of PERM and the creation of the BECs, the earlier they finish the cases they have received, the earlier they lose their own job! It’s so easy to understand that they NEED to hold back the early cases to create a phantom backlog to justify their own existence until the end of 2005. While they still have to kill the staff’s 8 hours a day, LIFO might not be a bad idea - at least some people would think NY DOL are so efficient that cases are processed in 3 days. Unfortunately, if you are not one of the lucky latecomers, just be prepared to wait to the end of the year. Think the petition to those scumbags who are just wasting taxpayers’ money would do anything? I don’t think so, but we should reveal their dirty tricks to the public and have those scumbags judged.

Actually, it looks like they are accelerating. I think those are earlier cases which were not entered into the system. They take them from the box, enter data into the system them and them approve after a few days.

Do you have an idea aprx. when this last case was received by state DOL, meaning when this case was sent to SESA by the lawyer?

Good theory! But I guess we should still pursue whatGCwait222 is trying to do, as that might not harm us in anyway.

BTW: Gcwait222: what is the status on the letter. I think we should send the letter out

Regards

Reply from Certification Officer:

This is in response to your email sent to Mr. Douglas F. Small, Regional Administrator, Boston concerning a number of applications for alien employment certification filed by various individuals.
Before I can respond to your inquiry I need the following information:

1) Names of employers for each foreign national on your list.

2) Since you indicate that the states of NY/NJ completed processing of the cases and forwarded them to the NY Regional Office, please provide the State case ID number for each application on your list.

As soon as you give us the above information, we will attempt to locate the cases and provide you with the status of each case on your list and update you on our current processing times.

Do you believe my theory now? Get ready for another 6 month waiting.
 
NY DOL messed up my colleague's case. After the approval, NY DOL sent the following letters to our attorney (Labor approval form +ETA form A + ETA form B of another applicant).

Our attorney, after receiving the labor approval, filed for I-140/485 and got a query from INS seeking clarification on ETA form B that belongs to another applcant.

Our attorney in now following up with NY DOL.
