Labor from DOL/Atlanta

Hi,
Does any one know what the dates look like for the labor petitions moved from the Atlanta DOL to Philadephia BEC?

My traditional applicaton was filed in North Carolina in June 2002 (with priority date June 2002) and was forwarded to Atlanta DOL in Nov 2004.
Does the BEC look at my original filing date June 2002 or the date it was forwarded to Atlanta Nov 2004? My lawyer says it is the state date June 2002.

In any case, I will appreciate if some one who got the 45 day letter from Philly can post their dates.

Thanks much for the help.

Rajiv Khanna's Comments on BEC

These are Rajiv Khanna's Comments on BEC (from AILA conf 2005)

*** As of last week they have received 250,000 cases from states and federal offices. They are doing cata entry for status. They have entered info only for 87,000. They expect to have all applications in BEC by end of May. It will take them another couple of months to finish data entry. They will then be able to post detailed data on where enerything is.


*** Don't worry if you have not yet received your 45 day letter. Their data entry is still not even half complete. A lot of cases are sitll in the boxes so they cannot tell the status of individual cases.

*** They will have a FIFO policy. RIR and Non RIR (Then call them "TR" - Traditional Cases)application will have two separate tracks. They think that RIR's will go through a "little quicker"

*** DOL intends to respect the regional RIR policies for advertising and recruitment, but will take a NATIONAL approach in RIR adjudications.

*** USDOL requests that do not initiate status checks (especially through Members of Congress)

*** They have had a fairly large number of withdrawals.

*** USDOL requests that do not initiate status checks (especially through Members of Congress)

WHY DOL ARE SO AFAID OF? They will get exposed that they are wasting time and money or they are used to for unaccountability.
Please contact the congressman (mail/fax/telecom) and expose their way of working.

>>>>>It has taken so long for them to enter 87000 cases, how they will finish data entry of 163000 cases in 3 months??
I guess they are planning to open Backlog reduction center of backlog reduction centers.

*** Don't worry if you have not yet received your 45 day letter. Their data entry is still not even half complete. A lot of cases are sitll in the boxes so they cannot tell the status of individual cases.

>>>>>Why worrry now?? We haven't worried for last 4 years. Most likely our cases have been well taken care of... they are safe in the boxes..and will remain safe for another 4 years.

*** They will have a FIFO policy. RIR and Non RIR (Then call them "TR" - Traditional Cases)application will have two separate tracks. They think that RIR's will go through a "little quicker"

>>>>>Whow!! this policy will make RIR folks happy.

*** DOL intends to respect the regional RIR policies for advertising and recruitment, but will take a NATIONAL approach in RIR adjudications.

>>>>>This was concluded after 5 months of intense meeting(no actual work).

*** USDOL requests that do not initiate status checks (especially through Members of Congress)

>>>>>They don't want anyone to know what they are doing.

*** They have had a fairly large number of withdrawals.

>>>>>Another report indicated a huge 300 withdrawals.
