One more news ; 45 day deadline to file I-140

WHat will be the impact ..........
========================
OMB Approved DOL's Proposed Rule to Eliminate Substitution of LC and 45-Day Cap for Approved LC

On August 10, 2005, the OMB cleared the DOL's proposed rule entitled Labor Certification for the Permanent Employment of Aliens in the United States; Reducing the Incentives and Opportunities for Fraud and Abuse for publishing in the federal register. In this rule, the DOL is proposing changes to reduce the incentives and opportunities for fraud and abuse related to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States. Among other key changes, the DOL is proposing to (1) eliminate the current practice of allowing the substitution of alien beneficiaries on applications and approved labor certifications. DOL is proposing to further reduce the likelihood of the submission of fraudulent applications for the permanent employment of aliens in the United States by (2) proposing a 45-day deadline for employers to file approved permanent labor certifications in support of a petition with the Department of Homeland Security. The proposed rule expressly prohibits the sale, barter, or purchase of permanent labor certifications or applications, as well as related payments. DOL will also (3) propose enforcement mechanisms to protect program integrity, including debarment with appeal rights. These proposed amendments would apply to employers using both the Application for Alien Employment Certification (Form ETA 750) or the Application for Permanent Employment Certification (Form ETA 9089).
Considering the recent DOL policy change to prevent labor certification frauds, it is anticipated that this proposed rule will be published in the federal register very swiftly. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this rule-making.
 
Hi GOD_BLESS_YOU,

Congratulations on your labor approval!

Can you please provide few digits from your case num??

Also when did you get your 45 day letter???

It looks like based on your approval PBEC is following one FIFO for Regional and SWA RIR cases. I don't think they will approve all regional cases first?

Thanks in advance
 
Question about I-140...

It may not be relevant question but where do I get information on what all documents are required to file I-140 ( and I-485) ? I feel that I should be ready (and so is everybody) in case there is a miracle and I get my LC within 2-3months.

To whom who want to act insteat of wait,

Let's set up a time to have a conference call to discuss what we can do. I feel crying here does not help us at all.
 
Friends,
I am sorry to let you know that my brother got laid off on Friday (Aug 12). He is on F-1 OPT and has only 3 months remaining to change status to H-1. His OPT expires on Dec 12, 2005. We are very worried because of the quota issue. He is a Mechanical Engineer and has a Master's degree in Mech Engg from the US. There are only 10,000 more H-1B visas left for US Master's degree holders for FY 2006. If he doesn't get a new job and hence a new H-1B status, he will have to permanently go back to India after Dec 12, 2005. Only God knows how much my mom and him have struggled to get student loans and have him get a US Master's degree. It is very painful to think of it. He is now starting to apply for PhD programs and other MS degrees to maintain F-1 status after OPT expiration. If any of you guys are Mechanical Engineers and have possible job openings in your company, please contact me ASAP. I can forward his resume to you. I will greatly appreciate any support you can offer.
Thank you all!!!

Also, I know that this is unrelated to this tracker...I have most friends in this tracker and hence but I am posting it here because I need emotional support from my friends in this thread. So, please don't shoot me.
 
SF DOL cases

Hi guys,

Anyone has any inside news from Philadelphia BC regarding the timeframe when they are going to process the SF DOL cases ? From the tracker, it seems they are just processing Philli DOL cases. The SF DOL cases are clearly entered in their system...they are just not processing those...Does anyone have any inside connection at PBEC to throw some light on what policy they are adoptiong ?
 
question about wage comparison

I have a question about the wage comparison.

DOL compares my wage against:

1) prevailing wage at the time of filing my labor (2002)
2) prevailing wage at the time I started with my employer (2000)
3) prevailing wage at the time my application is reviewed by DOL (probably 2005)

Please let me know which of the above choices is correct.

Thanks!
 
case status: data review

Hi all, I greately appreciate for your time and for providing extremely valuable information in this forum.

Does anybody know what is the case status "Data Review" means.

Will the cases in "Data Review" be picked up for analysis when the analyst queue come to the PD. Anybody's case has been approved after the status showing data review..


My details:
My case is in dallas BEC, and my PD is in early Apr 03, my attonery replied to 45 day letter in Dec 2004, but my H1B screenshot shows that case status is "data review".

I am worried that whether my case will be picked up for review or not when the queue comes to Apr 2003. Is there anything my attorney can do to make the staus change to RIR

Thanks in advance.

GC_from_NJ thank you for the info.
But my attorney had sent the response to 45 day letter(via fedex) on Dec 30th, 2004. DBEC must have processed that response, or esle my case should have been in closed status..

There was a correction list with the 45 day letter, minor one (missing "per year" in wage field), which was corrected and sent with the 45 day response.
I am not sure if this caused the data review not complete and file sitting somewhere..

Does anybody who sent the corrections, seen the status changed to "RIR" / screenshot reflect the changes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
You have a "problem", God_Bless_You

Per the proposed 45 day filing rule (one has to file for I140/I485 within 45 days of the LC certified date), you must file I140/485 in 45 days, but when you receive the LC, it may already surpass the 45 day.

Of course, this is just a pleasant joke. It won't be a problem because the rule has not been put into effect yet. Besides, you may get your LC very soon since it is already certified, giving every New York filers a ray of hope.

:D
