Does this also contribute to diverse the resources of NY SESA ?
If many NON RIR Appplicants who have been waiting for so many years (Yr. 98, 99, 2000 and before April 2001) are changing their non rir applications to RIR , the workforce at NY SESA would be spending their time ot work on such applications too, as thier priority date would be in those earlier years!!!!
Naturally, thsi would delay the process for the applicants who applied in april and later !!!
Does this add to the more processing time at NY SESA ?

No not like that
For RIR processing, their PD will be the date when they request to
convert it from regular to RIR. And the RIR conversion Regulation
was finalized and issued only in July/August 2001. If you applied
prior to july/august you should be fine.
You can read Regular to RIR conversion Regulation at
http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/GAL2-02AttachB.pdf
Read the last paragraph.
But they will be retaining the old priority date for I-485/CP processing.

You are right .. \'Priority Date\' means something only at the 485 stage. For labor, my priority will still be sept 2001 (conv. date)
BTW, does anyone think there is a chance that NY SESA will reach sept. applications before the end of this year (that is when my H1 expires)

No body knows clearly how they are handling the APRIL situation
I talked to a lady at NY SESA. She gave me very vague answer.
This is the summary of my talk with the lady.
1)Currently (as of 02/28/2002) they are processing end of March and
early April cases.
2) In April they received record breaking no of applications.
3) She didn\'t give me any idea of how much time it will take to
process APRIL applications.
4) She was also not sure of what is the impact of April cases on RIR
processing.
I felt like some parrot speaking.
But according to Jim, immigration Attorney, most of the april 245(i)
RIR cases are skeleton applications and the rejection of those kind
of applications will take lot of time as Certifying Officer has to
prepre the explanation for rejection.
Indeed NY SESA SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from your company / employer that have been with federal level Labor and not at SESA.

Were you going to use the same lawyer to file the new labor in FL ?
I fnot, he might be looking to retain his client purely in terms of his business!!!
Otherwise It sounds to be a good news!!!!
