Dear friends,
I just got CERTIFIED in Atlanta after 163 days in the waiting list. It's one of the happiest days in my life and I want to share it with all of you.
To those who are still waiting, just keep the faith. Atlanta is going slower but surely. This is my second approval for PERM in Atlanta. The first one (last year 2006) I got approved in 152 days for EB3. By mistake of my lawyer, who didn't check the VISA availability at the time, I was forced to go through the whole process again, this time as EB2. This almost two years with PERM have been almost centuries to me but I've learned a lot about the process.
For some strange reason that I still don't understand, it seems that Atlanta processing center is taking a lot longer on PERM approvals than Chicago. I know many lawyers have been inquiring about cases that are taking longer than 120 days, and in some cases, those cases inquired have been approved or at least reviewed. In my case, my lawyer sent a letter to Atlanta last week and this week I got approved. Coincidence...? who knows. But it might be worth to try it.
PERM is a good system and it will improve over time. It's just a matter of time and a lot of patience.
KEEP THE FAITH and GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. See you in the I-140 forum
