Not to scare you, ur lawyer/employer should have gotten this already i thought... believing this to be RIR case, which went to dol from state and then to DAllas BPC. try sending email to h1b7yr will all details like your employer name, your name, date sent to state, date transferred to dol etc. you might atleast see your D or P number??

just my thoughts...
 
Hi, K2004

You are lucky. I have same PD day (3/7/01), RiR converted to Non-RIR, Dallas. I have not received any 45 day letter yet.

I received my 45-day letter way back on Jan 3rd 2006. My PD is 08/2002 filed from CA and never made it to Regional. So I guess you need to contact BEC to see whats happening.

Hello Kalifornia_resi,

Are you suggesting that we should contact to Dallas Bpc for not getting 45 day letter?
My PD is April 2002 and never made it to regional, fortunately I got case number as
D-05140-xxx, I contacted my lawyer and she said wait for 6 months.

I am totally frustrated.
Somebody please shed somelight on my case.

Hi life_w/o_gc

I strongly suggest that you better have your lawer or Employer contact Dallas and see what is going on with your case(They will only respond to the attorney or the employer), because if the case number turns from T to D that is an indication that either your 45 d letter is already generated or close to being generated. I do not want to scare you, one of my friends whose case was in PA got his case closed for not responding to 45DL which neither the attorny nor the employer received. He is now on the process of reopening the case.

Regards
WAL

Hi Shagua,
It looks like this is only for cases filed before Aug 3, 2001. Is there any way for cases like me (Feb 13, 2004, EB3 TR) to convert into RIR or PERM. In the mean time my job title and salary got changed even though I am working in the same department in same company. I believe that is creating confusion with my attorneys and HR people. When I asked about amending existing application at BRC, she told me that it is not possible.

Hi Shagua,
Since labor certification and GC is for a future job, is there any problem for me to change teams inside my company even though I am running on 8th year extension. Technically they should be able to refile my application in PERM so that I could keep my priority date.
Different attorneys interpret this subject differently.
What do you think ?
 
Maybe not....

I am not a lawyer but I just read these forums. Since you've received your case number, I dont think contacting BEC would help in anyway. BEC will get to your case when they are ready to process it. I would have said 'yes contact BEC' if you didnt have a case number so maybe the case was lost.
 
One more 45 days letter from CA

Earlier I said my friend whose PD is May 2002 /non-rir/EB3 -CA didn't get 45 day letter but I rechecked with him and he said he got the letter on Jan 31st but our immigration firm didn't notify him until last week.

Cheers

Hi,
I am so glad that somebody from california closer to my P.D got a 45 days letter . My PD is actually 2/13/03, my collegues P.D is may2002/nonrir/eb3 and we both didn't get 45 days letters. So can anybody shed somelight if bala_su case is picked up according to timeline ( I know that is really wishful thinking) or he happens to be one very lucky guy from California?

Hi there,

It looks like Dallas BEC started sending 45 day letters. Hopefully I will receive mine soon.
Thanks for sharing.
 
It doesn't make a difference really.
My case has a July 2002 PD also, completed state, reached region, recvd 45 day letter in Feb04 and was sent back in Feb04 and still waiting. Doesn't matter where you are going to wait..before the 45 day letter or after..we all are going to get LC around the same time...in the next couple of years...maybe

hi tarikida:

your 8th year H-1 is valid because your labor has been pending for more than 365 days. from what i understand is you can only switch/change job/position before the 6 years limit. if your job title is not the same as your current H-1 technically your H-1 will not be valid. however, i don't think USCIS checks on such a thing(they dont' have the man power and time). what i worry is you are risking your H-1 status when it's time for your next renewal.

as far as whether you can refile the perm for different title, you have to consult an attorney because i am not familiar with how perm works.

hope this helps....
