PERM Tracker - Chicago
- Thread starter Victoria97
- Start date
I filed at end of Sept. Got an audit 2 days before Thanksgiving!!!(at least they WERE working on the thing)
Lawyer was on vacation so lost almost 3 weeks to reply. Waiting since 12/13 - still 'in process'.
It looks like there's a 'hole' with the Sep cases....

Not sure if it was random. They asked for complete recruitment report and business necessity letter. We required MS+3 (I have way more than that) for a Sr. Mech. Engineer position. Funny thing is the lawyer had the business nec letter pretty much prepared and we just reviewed and ok'd.

Hi there,
as a matter of fact we did answer 'yes' to the H12 question. I agree that the whole process is messed up. The problem stems from the ONET database that sets ridiculously low requirements for these positions that not many employers would accept for hiring. No wonder US needs to hire foreign brain power bec they themselves cannot even figure out what they need (unlike business driven employers).
We advertised with MS+3 but indicated on the PERM form that alternative experience/education would be acceptable.

I'm still here wondering what happened to F***ing JUL filings... Over 150 days and nothing. I guess they're waiting for EB2 worldwide retro before they start approving these EB2 cases.

tracker update
Hi guys,
thanks so much. The tracker file gave me hope and to get an idea that things are moving and sort of stabilizing (which is FAR from working correctly). I am glad I got certified within less than 90 days (as I said lawyer was on vacation and we lost valuable time). It was disheartening to see many who applied later get certified much quicker - particularly since I am in 6th year H-1B and would appreciate having EAD soon.
Fortunately we are filing as EB2 worldwide, so I am waiting for the LC hardcopy to file I-140/I-485 and the rest all next week hopefully (thank goodness to EB2 retro yet).
I am hoping all of you will get certified soon as well.

September Applications
I see some people still not certified from September, especially 2nd half of the month. My wife also applied Sept. 19th and her application shows in process for the last 2.5 months. Did those of you who applied in Sept. and did not get certified had a correspondence with DOL or your attorney as what happened to your cases? Thanks in advance!!!
