BEC Analysis Summary

As of today, after closely examining the BEC Priority Date tracker spreadsheet, here is the information I churned out of the spreadsheet.

Dallas BEC has so far approved nearly 4 times the number of cases approved by Philly BEC.

Philly has issued 2.5 times more 45-day letters than Dallas for SWA cases.

Dallas and Philly BECs have both approximately issued same total number of 45-day letters.

Philly has cleared nearly 40% of Non-RIR cases in approximately FIFO and have now shifted their resources on approval of RIR cases.

Philly has recently approved a major chunk (approx. 80%) of RIR regional cases from April 2002.

Many RIR regional cases pending at Philly with PD in 2001 are yet to be approved.

Philly is sending a handful of 45-day letters for June 2002 RIR cases which makes me think that the processing queue for RIR is somewhere around June 2002.

One-third of all Regional Cases have already been approved by the BECs.

Hardly 2 to 3% of SWA cases have been approved so far.

Philly BEC has made much better progress then Dallas BEC for Non-RIR cases.

Philly is approving a major bulk of Philly Regional DOL cases first.

Philly is currently not even looking at Atlanta Regional DOL cases since they have not received a single approval yet.

SF DOL cases that went to Dallas BEC ended up being a lot luckier than the ones that went to Philly BEC.

About 45-day letters from both BECs

About two thirds (66%) of all cases (both BECs included) have received 45 day letters. One-third of all the cases still need to receive the 45-day letter.

45-day letters are being sent in random order. So please don’t panic is you have not received yours yet.

Peak season for 45-day letters was from Dec 2004 to April 2005.

Pace of sending 45-day letters slowed down considerably in the period from May 2005 to July 2005 (possibly because resources were shifted on data-entry and approval).

Pace of sending 45-day letters has picked up a little between Aug 2005 and Oct 2005. However, this pace is not even close to the peak season of 45-day letters (Dec 2004 – Apr 2005).

About approvals from both BECs

Approvals first started trickling in between Mar 2005 and April 2005.

Pace of approvals picked up in May and June 2005.

Peak approval season was between July 2005 and Sept 2005 with Aug reporting the maximum number of approvals in any given month.

Oct 2005 continues to show a promising trend of approvals.

Correct me if I am wrong. Feel free to add more to this list. I am sure I may have missed out some important points that may be of interest to many of you.

NOTE: All the above points are my inferences from the BEC Priority Date Tracker spreadsheet maintained by JustWatching. I don't have any inside information.

adallac, up to my knowledge, until this very minute no single CA approval has been reported by any of the members of this forum. however, last week someone mentioned that his friend (or his friend's friend, not really sure) was approved by PBEC. the thing is that the earliest CA case in this forum,with a PD as early as Apr 2002, still hanging around with the rest of us. it is a very frostrating situation for all us because DBEC who recieved half of CA cases is now processing June 2003.

Thanks...

I am already on my 7th year extension.........but still can I ask for screen shot directly from PBEC even though I am on my seventh year extension... ?

I just called PBEC(484-270-1500) and luckily it was answered by a lady...she said...they are working on it....and that she cannot tell my status ....that I should wait to hear from them....Also she forwarded to automated line...where the automated message was telling the email that started like......info@phi...

Does anyone has this email address to check case status at PBEC ?

It is true that DBEC is looking at June 2003 case, but are you sure that they have completed adjudications for all the 2001 and 2002 cases. I don't think so. Essentaily, these two BECs are doing the same thing, with PBEC having more data entered and more 45-day sent out and DBEC having more case adjudicated. The fact that some CA cases are getting approvals does not mean they are doing in a systematic way. In addition, when you were mentioning the unfairness not to have the earliest CA case at April 2002 attended in PBEC, did you think of all those hundreds and thousands of 2001 cases still remaining untouched?

Yes your right.. most of my co-employee here received their LC approvals from Dallas where there PD is 2002,2003, unfortunately, my case was sent to Philly, I'm on my 6th year in H1B, although, I've got the screen shots of my case that still pending. The best to do is to PRAY!!! :)

Besides pray, complain and protest, send email to the director/chief CO of PBEC, protesting his purposed delay or just call him directly. You can google his email and extension number anywhere. Or pray he will be fired soon.
