This the New Thread to strategize action for people who's cases are left over in PBEC - Cases before Aug 2002
csrini1 said:my 2 cents, don't limit this to just pbec, my case and lot of collegues cases from 2001 and early 2002 are in DBEC, where as i see cases from 2004 and 2005 being approved...
gchelpme said:Keep ALL of upto 2002. Technically speaking due date sept'2007 to clear up backlog does not makes sense for people who are in Queue for around 4 yrs just for a labor clearance.
Ladude10,ladude10 said:Yes it is for all 2001-2002 PEBC Cases.
whereismy_gc said:Ladude10,
I just sent you a PM, sorry I got stuck with some personnel emergencies.
Anyways guys, besides talking to Rajiv and IV, what are our other options. I was wondering if could stage some kind of a protest, just as how the illegals did to get some attention. I know and heard that IV organized some recently in Chicago or DC, but not sure how much successful it was.
Again, it's a question of logistics, we are all scattered all over the place, but I believe we could have a majority from CA (SF BayArea and Parts of LA). Do you guys think we all should get on the streets with our spouses and do some kind of silent protests, just to express our discomfort with this whole processes????
Let me know and we can discuss this further.
I know this is insance but if we have to do, we have to do..nothing comes free. If the great leaders of the past did why can't we.
sacbee said:All,
Contacted Rajiv office. His staff will get back to me regarding the conf call and also they may post in the forum.
We need to collect the points for the discussion. I also had a discussion with ladude1 regarding this. Please bring the general points for discussion ( Only PD 2001 and 2002 missed cases).
Thanks,
Sacbee
ladude10 said:Here are some of the points, I have recapped to talk to Rajeev, please let me know if you want to add/change anything to it
Current PBEC Labor processing pattern:
Every month Philadelphia center is moving forward by approving many Labor applications but at the same time skipping some of them (approximate ratio here is 50/50).
Currently PBEC is processing applications with PD around 2002 November/December but many 2001 and early 2002 cases are still pending.
One thing we observed with the approval pattern is that once PBEC moves forward with one particular month they hardly go back to the processing of previous month’s cases.
For e.g. currently they are processing NOV/DEC 2002 cases but there is no or rare activity on 2001 or early 2002 cases.
Communication Issue with PBEC:
Many 2001/2002 people want to know reason behind their skipped cases. Many people tried to initiate inquiry either through their lawyers/HR or directly by themselves but there is no proper reply from PBEC. That adds more confusion.
There are few speculations floating around why some of the applications are skipped
a) PBEC has contractors to work on these cases and they are supposed to finish certain number of cases within certain amount of time. So they just pick up easy cases.
But this is not true because many people with same background and same company as to ones who got approvals are still waiting.
b) Another speculation is that there will be second sweep and remaining skipped cases will get processed during that. But still there is no indication of that.
Again all these answers are based on the individual opinions.
Is there something we can do?
Many applicants whose cases are skipped would like to know if there is any complication in their cases (which many believe is NOT) and if there is any, then at least PBEC should inform them those reasons so that they can provide extra documentation if needed. Many believe that it is just randomness, which is not fare. Whole meaning of “Priority Date” is to priorities depending on date but it doesn’t look like PBEC working that way.
Our Expectations
What we collectively expect from PBEC is not an answer or excuses (which we all know in general) but some actions on all these pending cases from year 2001 and 2002 before moving forward.
So plan is, next couple of days we will collect more points and then sacbee will forward those points to Rajiv. And depending on his response we will take next step (either direct all to Rajiv or if he need anything from us etc)
So please feel free to give your input if anything is missing.
