RIR denied
Hi Guys,
While people are happily celebrating the recent progress of LC processing, my RIR application was rudely denied.
I am a programmer, RIR appliation was filed on April 24, 2001, reached regional office on March 26, 2003, RIR was denied on April 26, 2003.
My coworker who holds the same position in my group and filed together with my case was denied too.
The funny thing is that people working in other groups got approvals.
I contacted the lawyer and she said my case will be sent back to state office, and we have to run some additional advertisement. It is no longer RIR. The insteresting part of what she said is that although this case is no longer RIR, it is not exactly regular application either. It is something in the middle and should be processed faster than regular appications. Is this true? What is this statement based on?
Anyway, good luck to every one and hope this only happens on me and does not begin a new trend of denial in NY.
