Ohio SESA Tracker

PD at DOL's

It is most definitly based on the date, It was received by DOL.

RP, in your case, just ask your attorney to call up the SESA and find out.

Good Luck Dude.
 
Finally some update on my LC. It is forwarded to CHIC-DOL and the AVM is updated too.

Here are my details:
OH SESA RD 2-MAR-2004
OH SESA AD 8-SEP-2004
DOL_CHI RD 13-SEP-2004
 
What's the condition of my case

My case is RIR in OHIO, In August, they sent us a letter ans ask for more documents about prevailing wage and job classification. The lawyer sent these documents to Ohio in earlier October.
We can find the case No. in Chicage (the end of October) by AVM. The lawyer said the case has sent it to the Chicago to make a final decision on the prevailing wage and job classification issue. Does it mean our case has been proved by OHIO, and wait for the approved by Chicago? Or OHIO can not decide it? When is our time in Chicago, is it Oct?
 
job description, job title mismatch

Dear Friends,

Couple of years back I applied for my LC in non-RIR. When I filed the application, I used the OES code "computer software engineer". But, the job description I used is for "programmer analyst"(Actually I am doing the job of programmer analyst). That time I didn't know the importance of the job code. My attorney also didn't say anything about this. Now only I realized the mismatch between the job description and the job code I used. Will this job code mismatch create any problem? How can I handle this situation?

I have one other question:
When we filed the application(2 years back), my salary was within the prevailing wages. But, now the prevailing wage has gone up substantially. Does anybody know which year's database SESA will use to find the prevailing wages when they open my case? Current year or the year I filed my application.

Thanks a lot.

01/21/2005: DOL Backlog Reduction Processing Update

The DOL did not disclose in details a number of issues in the PERM Briefings which the consumers were interested in. It turned out that some of these issues had been discussed with the AILA in telephone conference before the PERM Briefing sessions began. Some of these issues had been answered as follows:
Status of Processing at the Backlog Processing Centers:
The cases which were transferred from the Regional Offices were processed first. For these cases, initial letters have been being sent out. Once the responses come back from the applicants, they will start adjudicating the cases. The current state is as follows:
Dallas, Philadelphia, and San Francisco Regions Cases: Data entry for these cases has been completed and letters have been sent out and the Backlog Centers are awaiting the responses for further processing and adjudication.
Chicago and Atlanta Regions Cases: These cases have been transferred to the Backlog Centers later and currently being data-entried. Once the data entry is completed, letters will be sent out the applicants as it did with the Dallas, Philadelphia, and San Francisco Regions cases.
The cases which were transferred from the SWA (state offices) are at the stage of data entry. Once data entry is completed, the same steps will be taken as described above.
Processing Queue per FIFO: Shockingly, there are no separate queues between RIR and Regular cases and both RIR and Regular cases are being processed on FIFO in a single national queue. Consequently, RIR cases will experience a substantial delay once the cases are transferred to the Backlog Centers!!
Opened Cases vs. Unopened Cases: Under the Transition Guideline, unopened cases have been transferred to the Backlog Centers and opened cases will be completed by the SWAs. The definition of "opened cases" is the application packages which are at the SWAs in unopened boxes or where no letters have been issued by the SWAs to the applicants. Accordingly, those who received a letter from the state offices may be completed at the state offices rather than being transferred to the Backlog Centers.
Notification of Address Changes of the Applicants or Attorneys: If one knows that his/her case has been transferred to the Backlog Centers, the notification should be addressed to the Backlog Centers. If one does not know, DOL suggests to such notification to both the Backlog Center and the SWA office.
Address of Certifying Officers and SWA in the Notice Posting for Cases to be Filed before 03/28/2005: People should follow the same rules and requirements under the current labor certification regulation. Thus the notice posting should direct the public to file misrepresentation or complaints to the office of Certifying Officer's office and the state labor certification unit. Remember, though, some Regions, addresses have been changed: Chicago and Atlanta offices.
 
Master Tracker

Hello all,

I am trying to create a master tracker that will help all of us determine where we all fall in the BEC queue.

My goal is to consolidate into a single tracker all pending labor certifications from all STATES and all DOLs.

This will help us in the long run to better understand how BECs will be processing our cases.

I have attached an empty tracker. I will return next Friday, February 11 to “pick it up”.

At that time I will merge all sub-trackers into a single one and post it in the DOL forums section.

I hope you find value in doing this and participate. If your forum has a tracker already, it would be great if someone volunteers and populates the tracker I have posted.

Since it will be hard for me to check all forums next week, if you have any questions, please send me a Private Message.

Thank you for your help

ODJFS Still working

I noticed in ODJFS site, that they are still working on some case of December , 2004.
Are they not done?..As DOL has set a date to transfer all cases to BRC by apr22,05. But per their site, they are still processing.
My attorney says he has no clue on this. Does anyone know more about it?
 
BPC Tracker

The tracker can be found at:

http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=161571

Today I added the 600th record to the tracker.

There are 419 records for people that made to Regional DOL
The rest are SWA records which tells me SWA people are still underrepresented in the tracker.

The tracker includes reports that may answer some of your questions so do please take the time to look at the reports.

I would also encourage you to review your info and post updates especially if I have missed your 45-day letter.

Good luck everyone.
