Prats said:Hi all,
My PERM application which was filed on June 3 was denied soon after filing (possibly due to the system glitches). I have been reading on this forum that after correcting the issues with the software, the DOL is rerunning all applications that were denied. I have also read that this rerun has happened or started happening post June 24. Is there a way to know when a specific case was rerun and what is the new outcome if any? Does the system show a new entry alongside the previous attempt to indicate that the previous case is now being rerun? Has the rerun been completed for all affected cases? I was told by my lawyer that the rerun will continue into the first week of July and the DOL will then send out letters in the second week of July notifying those cases where a rejection/ denial happened for the second time (after the rerun) and provide the reasons for the same.
Has anyone seen any progress (change in status from denied to sponsorship/ audit review/ final review/ certified) for applications that were initially filed on or around June 3 at the Chicago NPC?
I will appreciate knowing if anyone has any information or updates to share.
Thanks and best wishes to everyone.

There are no reported Approvals in this catagory, besides there might be cases who are reaching 45-60 days DOL assured decision time (esp those filed in May). I think Final Review and Audit are the two stages where a human intervention is required.
Just wondering since such a large number of cases are in Final Review is that leading to the delays ?
Anyone has any updates from Attroney or any other sources ? Also, with large number of approvals from Dallas BEC is EB2 retrogression imminent ? Any clues on what date EB-2 will retrogress to ?
nning said:Hi, My case was changed to sponsorship last night after my lawyer contacted with DOL, the problem is, as i was told by my lawyer is one lawyer received the denial notice from DOL for the exactly same thing I have. There is still system glitch, state job order can not run only for 30 days, so, in this decision matrix system, they just kick this situation out, but which is wrong. I doubt what kind of IT guy working for DOL?
the better thing is did not need to refile like this, did not need to lose my priority date in May, but the case will be delayed, which is for sure, still did not know how long this is going to take from sponsorship to final.
it is really ridiculous, since the case has been passing sponsorship to audit review for almost 1 month, then got denied by system glitch. the 06/24 rerun is not god saving fix at all.

It looks like DOL is rerunning denial case again, my case changed from denied to sponsorship, no email yet. This whole thing is so dramatic, like a big joke.skyliners said:My case is the same as urs, also the 30 days job order problem. Now it changed from denial to sponsorship.
But now my employer hasn't received the email from DOL.

Sponsorship I guess is better than Denied.
Regarding sponsorship email, apparently DOL is having problems. They also try to reacj employers via phone asking the same 4 Q.
Keep on the phone call as well

I think DOL hasn't finished all the rerun yet. They are using our cases as quality assurance data for testing.jay2005 said:GC_refom,
I am in the same boat. Many people also seem to be in the same state. Is DOL waiting till retrogression kicks in? Anybody has any news or clues?
grrr70 said:I actually filed PERM on April 1, when from Pending > Sponsorship > Audit Review > Denied (June 24) > Sponsorship (July 6). I also got my denial letter yesterday saying that "the job order was not placed... for a period of 30 days." Since my status is now sponsorship, do I just ignore this denial letter?
Seems like a lot of us in the same boat. Any idea why we went from Denied to Sponsorship? Still no sponsorhip email.
UGH.. I can't stand all this drama with PERM!
