We each is capable of coming up with a better idea than the previous one -- and I agree people maybe more comfortable using screen names to begin with -- BUT --

I can put a letter in a new thread with complete instructions --
you must print, add your contact info, sign, scan and email back to me (or whoever else wants to take the charge)

If its going to be done -- lets not add to the confusion.

Taking Action

I like the letter idea... and while we're at it, how about sending thousands of letters to ONE journalist of our choice (from NY Times, Washington Post or another reputable paper with tons of readers)?

The chosen writer couldn't ignore the amount of mail and would certainly have enough material to write a story to get national attention on LEGAL immigrants, the ones who pay taxes, SS and Medicare... the ones who bring talent and add value to their economy... the ones who have been waiting MORE THAN 2 FREAKING YEARS for an LC that's supposed to take 6 months max!

We've put our lives on hold for too long... let's do something TOGETHER!

Hi all:
My company filed my petition in January 2002 in virginia. It got approved by state and sent Phily DOL for federal processing in July 2003. Till now i havent received anything from DOL office. Recently i heard people are getting 45 day notice letters but i havent received that one also. Is there anyone who filed before me or around my time and got 45 day letter. My company is not showing interest to enquire about it.

Check the BEC Prority Date Tracker for cases around your priority date.
Here is the link...
http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1133967#post1133967
Also, if you are not already in the list, request "JustWatching" to add you.

Send a status inquiry email to status@dal.dflc.us
Give them your company name, state case number, extact priority date, RIR, etc and they will give u your new case number.
Good luck!

I have listed many such efforts to raise the issue, in "sticky" thread, but everything was in vain, primarily because we couldn't oranize our thoughts on the same thread. Thats the reason I started new "sticky" thread under "labor certificate". So please guys/gals, post your opinions/discussion in that thread and also let people know about that by adding the URL in your signature.
 
I am not sure this is the right place to post this, but I got my 45 days letter according to my lawyer.

Received Date: 1/24/2002
Transmitted to USDOL: 6/17/2004
Maryland Control NUmber: MD 0293018
Case Identification number: P2004-MD-0340XXXX
45 days letter received: 4/30/2005

Also, I got a response from "status@dal.dflc.us" 26 days later my inquiry.
The email had the new case number:
P-04286-15XXX

Like everyone says, there was a paragraph ending with "Please do not request additional status information for at least 90 days after responding to the 45-day letter."

Even with this extremely slow pace, I guess they are working on our cases.

We each is capable of coming up with a better idea than the previous one -- and I agree people maybe more comfortable using screen names to begin with -- BUT --
that also means the luxury of not putting your name out there --
thats exactly the risk WE need people to take --

so... lets not come up with more ideas and stick to a plan.
I am perfectly content taking a back seat if one of you wants to lead this.....

But if we want to be serious lets use real names and contact information --
No one in govt will take us seriously without real names and contact information ---

I can put a letter in a new thread with complete instructions --
you must print, add your contact info, sign, scan and email back to me (or whoever else wants to take the charge)

If its going to be done -- lets not add to the confusion.

Count me in! We need to let our voices heard. Also I think involving media will help.
 
I think the letter is a great idea and we should go ahead with this.

I also have a feeling that the immigration attorney community also has to play a bigger role. They charge us for the old RIR process, the new PERM process and whatever other crap DOL comes up with. I would imagine that this community has some say in immigration matters. After all they are practicing a process which is not fair to us (the guys stuck in BEC) and I think its time they should speak up as well.

We can write thousands of letters and get ignored by the govt but if these professionals take up this matter seriously, it will have a greater punch.

Just a thought...dont want you guys to get distracted from the letter.
