NYC RIR Status

You better check that with your lawyer / company

I spoke with my lawyer last evening and the reply was that SESA (NYC - RIR) is processing applications received till April 24 th , 2001.

According to my knowledge, there is no distinction in EB2/EB3 categories at Labor Certification level. It does matter at I-140 level. At Labor Certification, what matters is that if an application is under RIR or NON RIR Category!!!!

Good luck to all of you, I am still waiting for my application to be cleared.
 
Maybe it didn\'t matter before.

But from the messages posted here, I believe now
it matters. who knows. My attorney told me NY LC
processing is now taking 10-12 months. 2 months
ago, she said 6-8 months. Maybe 2 months later,
it will be stretched to 14-16 months. Gosh. We
never can catch up with the pace of the NY DOL.
 
Thats right about increasing delay at NYC SESA !!!

The shorter time for processing of the applications at NY SESA was fact becuase there were no applications filed under 245(i).
In month of April2001, thousands of applications were filed in under 245(i) Category and hence SESA is overburdened with so many applications to be certified and also now is the holiday season.

The period for wait to clear the applications at SESA is increased because of those 245(i) applications that came in APRIL 2001.
Hopefully, the situation would be better once they start with the applications for the Month of May,2001.

We cannot blame SESA, its just a overburden of so many applications. I guess they are trying their best to clear the applications and morever the Unemployment rate also plays important role at Labor Department. Some SESA offices in the country just do not clear the applications under SESA if the Unemployment rate appears above 5.1 % level and they send the queries for the applications back to Lawyers / Employers.

Fact, we have to wait because we were late to file our applications and hence we have to suffer for the delays.
 
Forwarded to Federal DOL on 12/4

Anybody knows how long it takes at Federal DOL level and how is the chance anything that might go wrong? According to my lawer, my case was forwarded to NY DOL on 12/4 and I haven\'t heard anything yet. I am from NJ and is RIR EB3, applied in Feb - 2001.
 
SESA Processing Times are modified today.

It shows NY SESA processing time currently is backloged to
2/2001. Seems we have to wait several months more before
we can see our cases processed. Good luck......

No Priority dates for NY Labor???

Is it true that NY Labor processing does not assign a Priority date? If not what is the reference/benchmark or something to that effect?

Please advise.

Mash
 
it seems NY SESA are not processing any case.

long time no case was heard cleared. What\'s
the meaning of Priority data as long as the
quote for all categories are current? No
hope for NY LC.
 
EB3 RIR LC Approved

Applied : Jan 26th \'01

Really need a lot of patience. Good luck to all of u.
 
Congrats.

I thought NY DOL is processing March & April\'s cases.
Not it seems they are not finished with Jan & Feb\'s cases?

  Congratulation to you and disappointed to us.
