Hello sm11299

I think you should check with attorney to find out in which category your labor application was filed. There are 2 categories i.e. RIR or NON-RIR

FYI,
NY SESA is processing RIR applications received in Sep '2001 and NON-RIR applications received in April 2001

Hello everybody,

My LC application (priority date: May 7 2001) is still pending with SESA/SWA.
My company attorney did not receive any update till now. I cannot find the status because my company does not give the case id's to employees.

Since NY SESA is already processing Sep. 2001 I am concerned about my LC application. My company attorney said that they have sent a request asking for an update. Is there any thing more they can do like sending an expedite request ? I tried calling the SWA but they do not pick up the phone.

Please help.

Thanks,
sm11299

"My LC was filed in Dec 2003 and my company lawyer just gave me a copy of all the papers he sent.I know it is too early to ask about the status of the application but can I ?????"

Right now NYSESA is processing SEPT 2001 applications ....so it IS TOO EARLY TO ASK ABOUT STATUS .......

"Is there any way I can find out whether my application was received?
Moreover what is the difference in Filed date and Priority date?"


There is only way to know wheather they received your application is FEDEX receipt... if you are applying for 7th Year extension then lawyer can ask NYSESA receipt of application.....

Filed date is the date you filed at NY SESA..
Priority date .. state allocate a date to your case .. useful when applying 140 and 485 in future .. now Priority date does not matter as VISA numbers for all categories are all current ...

"A priority date, in an employment-based (EB) case requiring Labor Certification (LC), is the officially acknowledged date that the case was filed at the state level Department of Labor office, referred to as the SESA. If the EB case was filed in a category that does not require labor certification, then the priority date assigned by the INS is the date the I-140 (Immigrant Visa Petition) is received by the INS Service Center."

Hello Lamba Intjaar

There is no way to find out if your application was received by NY SESA.
NY SESA does not give case id untill its approved and move to NY Regional.

You should wait untill your case is approved.
FYI, NY SESA is processing cases received in Sep 2001

Thanks God Bless You !!
I have just one more year left before reaching 6 years limit for my H1 and my company is not willing to file the extension for the 7th year.So knowing, NY SESA is processing Sep 2001, I don't see any hope of getting labor approved before my H1 expires.
I am trying to look for an option where some other company can file my labor but I am not sure whether I will have to join that company in future when labor is approved??
Please help.
Thanks.
 
Mike,
Could you please provide some information regarding following Query from NY DOL

nivasch said:
How much chances are there to get approved after getting NOF for prevailing wages from DOL,
Once the company is fulfilling those requests, I talk to my employer they are doing those necessary arrangements..
Please give input.,...

Yes - they processed 3 cases before and 3 cases after mine - for some reason they skipped my case...

Any ideas why they do that? I am RIR....

This is my assumptions,

I think cases are divided based on dot codes.
There are different officers for different dot codes .
Also I think it depends on officers who got your case.
Could you check your case-dot code with the cases which are approved.
