Non RIR Discussion Only !

I am confused

Thanks for the reply.

I am confused now. Please shed some light..

Here is my situation. My lawyer decided to convert to RIR but never sent RIR conversion request email(the reasoning behind this she explained was that if we do that and by April 1st the RIR package is not sent the case would be closed...). She did advertisement as 3 newspaper ads and interal posting on company's news panel and a posting on company's www site. No resumes received to this advertising effort so she prepared a report and sent RIR package on 3/14/07. Now on 3/24/07 I see a job by my ETA case number posted on the ajb site.

Actually she did the advertisement effort for another LC case for the same priority date in my company also and sent RIR package on the same date as mine. That person's case status changed from TR "IN Process" to TR "Data Review" and there is no AJB job posted for his case.

So my questions are:

1. Is that normal to get the job posted on ajb site evenif you have sent RIR package?

2. If it is normal to get the ajb job posted after sending RIR package then what was the purpose of us doing recruitment effort ?

3. Why did the other person's case changed to "Data Review" and no AJB job posting on his case ?

4. Is my case being processed as RIR or TR ?

Somebody with some experience and knowledge please help.


By the way I have already informed my lawyer about the situation, but haven't heard from her yet.

You have to advertise in local newspaper for 3 consecutive days(including one Sunday) and post the job internally in the company... All the resumes received will go to BEC and then they will forward qualified resumes to your company/attorney with recruitment effort letter. Then your employer sends a recruitment report to BEC.. after that your case gets certified...
 
Hey couple questions. I have to post my ad next couple days too.

(1) It says it should run for 3 days in a newspaper of general ciculation and one day should be Sunday. What days of the week did you pick?

(2) Did you check your ad with http://www.ajb.org? Mine is worded exactly according to specs for the job title. They omitted all special requirements (ETA 750 item 15). I'm wondering if I should contact BEC and ask them to change it.


Sunday is RECOMMEND only. so you are safe to run ads during weekdays.
 
Hello a quick question.. Please.

How do I check on ajc.org if my job has been published. The laywer says it is, but I want to check it out myslef.

Thank you very much in advace,
-nk..
 
When you click on Job Search link on ajb.org you will find 4 more links for quick search. The one we are interested in is Job Number.

Click on Job number link. Now in the search drop down select "Company Job ID", type your ETA case number as 05207xxxxx or 05207-xxxxx(they use either format so you have to try both..) adn select partial matches radio button.

Thank you

Thanks a Ton guru. Will give it a try.

Gave it a try, but still not able to find the ad. Trying with the first 8 numbers and partial search option, gives me 11 pages of resuls. None of which is listed location to be GA.

Do I need to register in order to find a match?

-nk..

Do they really follow queue at PBEC?

My company had filed couple of LCs, TR-EB2, which were pending at PBEC.

One of my colleague got it certificed before few weeks, even if his LC was filed few months after.

Can we use this facts, in any way, to expedite my process?

Thanks for answers.
 
No you don't need to register. If you are using D or P in front of the case then ommit that. You want to put the case number like 0520712345

or 05207-12345 that should definetly get you your add if its posted.

My add was posted today on AJB. I have filed a PERM conversion 32 days ago.

When should I expect the recruitment instructions?
Can we use the recruitment used in PERM?
How is that going to affect my PERM application?
Which process will get the LC approved faster, PERM or traditional?

Thanks guys

The "processing type" has always been shown as TR, and never changed to RIR, before the certified status. Keep my finger crossed and look forward to seeing the approval on paper.

I suggest you call the Philadelphia BPC (484) 270-1500/Dallas BPC (214) 237-9111. Thanks DC2000 for providing the numbers.

My RI was submitted more than couple of months back; have not seen the approval yet. I thought that there is something wrong with my case. I requested my "manager" to call the above number. PBEC lady told us that there is nothing wrong with my case and, I should hear good news soon – she did not commit to any time frame. You have to ask either your employer or lawyer to call the BEC as they are not supposed to entertain calls from the beneficiary.


Seems like nothing happening lately. The wait and frustration continues...

I can understand. I had same problem with my company too.

But, if you have your case number, you can ask your "manager" to call and enquire about it.
