tb2904 said:By looking at the job postings in AJB here are my observations:
1. It seems like BEC's are posting jobs that were filed during Mar-April 2001.
There are thousands of 245i cases that were filed in Mar-April 2001 due to the amnesty for out of status workers that ended in April 2001.
2. Most of the out of the status worker were non-IT workers (no stereotype but that's the fact). That would explain most of the jobs posted being non-IT jobs (cook, machine operator etc).
Cases were entered in the BEC's database by boxes shipped by State (SWA). That's the reason we cannot predict Priority dates by the case numbers. So, a case that starts with P/D-05312 may have earlier Priority date than P/D-04110.
If the above observations are correct than it would be critical to find out if anyone with the priority date AFTER April 2001 gets either a recruitment instructions or gets their job posted in AJB. Looking at the priority tracker there are some members of the NON-RIR forum that has April 2001 priority dates. I am not sure if these members are still active.
In one of the post someone mentioned that their lawyers have started receiving the recruitment instructions. It would be helpful to find the exact priority dates of those cases.
roddy said:Hello everyone,
I looked at all jobs posted on the jobsearch.org and compiled a list of case numbers, hoping to find if there's any order in which the jobs were posted. The case numbers seem to be in random order, so I am guessing the jobs are posted by priority date. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell.
I am currently upgrading my laptop and do not have Excel installed. I attached the text version of the file and later this weekend I'll post the Excel version. The file includes the case number, job title and state. I hope that if we check cases in the file in a month or so, we may be able to determine how long it takes from the ad post to the final decision.
Best luck to all

MI_NonRIR said:I was reviewing the excel sheet posted by Roddy (thanks a lot roddy!!).
I checked all the cases in Michigan and found that 6 out of 25 cases are "Closed" and 2 of 25 shows a "Data Review" status.
So, my question is:
Does that mean DBEC received some response for those closed cases?
or,
Does that mean no 45-D letter response was received from the employer?
Any thoughts?
roddy said:Hi MI_NonRIR,
I'll be adding a status column to the excel spreadsheet with the decision date. Do you have the case numbers that were showing as "Closed"?
Thanks
txtramdream said:Roddy, nice work. I checked all the Texas cases based on the Spreadsheet you set up from the DoL on-line status checking system, and found out:
1. Date Posted=8/29/06, Case#=D-05115-70872, the case status="Withdrawn".
2. Date Posted=9/15/06, Case#=D-05116-74491, the on-line status checking system cannot find this number.
All the other Texas cases are in the "In Progress" status. I think I will regularly monitor these Texas cases, and see how soon they will get certified to have a better estimate of their process timeline.
Thank you.
roddy said:Thanks, txtramdream.
I checked all the states and updated the statuses. (spreadsheet is attached)
Btw, there are 1 closed, 5 withdrawn, 3 cases with "wrong" case numbers, and 1 certified!!! 2 ads refer to the same case number, though for different job titles (highlighted in red).

vexlak said:I would like to question your opinion as to what will happen when all of the Backlog jobs will be listed on the DOL website. The more will show, the less responses will they have. As may know, there is thousands of application from before 4/2001 that are due to be processed. And in reality, many of those people waiting for certification are already working in that or other position. I just hope that the “new” job listing will not be used politically, where they will claim thousand of new job creation.
MI_NonRIR said:The current administration has been planning to play this "job creation" game since day 1.
There will be 100K plus job openings before the election in November '06.
This will give them the opportunity to claim for the extra credit - we are just the hostage of their game plan.
So, my guess is, wait for another 2-3 weeks - you'll see thousands of jobs on the AJB site....
