I haven't called NY SWA recently. I spoke to them a couple of times back in March this year. They said they work overtimes, transfer staffs inside to work on LCs. They request $ and get some millions(I don't recall the exact number) for DOLs of all states, starting from 2004 fisical year (Oct/2003). NY SWA separated professional from others, but unfortunately (fortunately for some guys) they stopped doing that. I didn't hear any deadlines.
Some people in this thread called NY SWA recently and they said 245i will be cleared at the end of this year. Sounds to me a reasonable time frame.
It's a long waiting, tough to us. What we can do are very limited. Pray and hope for the best.

sasuli,
It's hard to say. My guess is they can clear at least two months LCs every month after 245i, maybe even faster. if you want to estimate when they will reach your case, you need take into account many factors:
1. when will 245i be cleraed? (end of this year)
2. how fast after 245i? (at least 2 month cases/month)
3. how will the out-sourcing help? (nobody knows)
4. how PERM will help (nobody knows)
5. will NY DOL act like CA DOL?
6. ...
The most important thing is you cannot make any decision based on this estimation. NY SWA even doesn't know.

DOL Updates - 09/08/03
Problems in DOL Region VI has arisen with actions on pending Reduction in Recuritment (RIR) applications. Several discussions about RIR applications particularly those filed in mid-2001 are now being reviewed in Region VI and many of which are being returned to the State Offices as RIR denials for traditional recruitment. These discussions has focused on how these applications should be processed, the significance of the Ziegler memo and the standards that should be applied.
On July 16, 2003, Bill Carlson, the new Chief of Foreign Labor Certification, and Harry Sheinfeld, the DOL Solicitor, traveled to California for a first hand look at the situation and at the various interests involved. They gathered information on what was actually happening with these applications and to brainstorm on various approaches to processing that might avoid moving the applications into the State Office backlogs for traditional recruitment. There was sensitivity expressed to causing the least harm to the employers who relied on RIR processing guidelines in good faith at the time they filed their applications, while protecting U.S. workers and considering backlog reduction plans.
Region VI has now halted its remands to the state office, while DOL undertakes a policy review.

I would think its a good (?) news. Atleast now we confirm , they are processing April 30th cases.
Now the phone message is saying next several months . I would think serveral=3.
what do you think?

several.....
Meaning of several : "Being of a number more than two or three but not many"
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=several
My best guess is 4 months as more than 4 months means 2004 and they probably would say "next year"
Let's hope to get some good news b4 Xmas.

I spoke to the labor yesterday and they said they will be done with april 30th by the end of the year. My personal guess is about 2-3 more months as they always give a higher number on the phone so that people don't call often.
They started processing april 30th about 10 days back.
Thanks

Another meaning for 'several'
It is funny and a little bit sad..that we need to discuss the meaning of several.
At the end I agree...and wish..that 'end of the year' (i.e. 4 months) is probably what they mean.
In the end, I think 'several' is really an ambiguous enough word that if they go into next year, they did not commit to anything specific.
Good luck to everyone...
