Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

Hi rikki,

If you case had reached regional before it went to PBEC then you should definitely pursue the matter with your lawyer and company. Regional cases are given a priority as of now because they have to minimal work to get the cases approved.

As of now I cannot guess how much time it will take the LC approval since there are few 2001 state cases in the queue.

Good luck and keep us posted.

A puzzling question.

This question may not be related to the topic here, but I cannot find anybody knowing exactly how I should approach it.

I want to transfer from h1-b to F-1 so that I can take advantage of CPT and OPT to do my internship next summer. However, I am not willing to give up my current job until the internship is secured. OPT or CPT will only be granted after 9 full month of F-1 status, which means I have to under F-1 status before the end of Auguest if I want to do the internship nu next June. The question is if I apply for transfer of status, when does it take into effect, issuane of I-20, when they receive the application, when the transfer is granted, or any date that I specify? If I can specify my own date, is it possible to withdraw the application after it is approved but before the requested date is reached? I have to know this becaue in case I cannot get a good internship I don't want to give my current job, a well paid one. Thanks in advance for any suggestion or comment
 
Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center.
They created two BECs to help eliminate the backlogs, the other one is in Dallas.
You will see PBEC / DBEC being used a lot in these forums ...

Hi Sakina,

Looking to my signature can you predict when my LC will be approved? Thanks a lot in advance.

Also, my employer has started PERM process for me. What is your advice, if I have to make a choice between PERM and PBEC (I am from India).?

Thanks.
 
Hi Amdavad,
I want to ask you this, can we apply in PERM eventhough we applied in before. eg. I have applied in feb 2003, and it is in pending, can I apply in PERM without disturbing PD for old one ? I am from INDIA(GUJ.) too.
Reply me back if you know this.

Yeah, you may go ahead and apply in PERM. The only thing is yours will get new PD, if you wish to retain the older PD, then you have to withdraw the old petition and refile under PERM.

In order to transfer from H1 to F1, you need to ask a designated school official (DSO) to issue you an I-20 and they will then apply in USCIS for your Change of Status (COS). Once your COS is approved, you will lose your H1B, and your status becomes F1. You CANNOT have 2 statuses at the same time. Once the transfer is granted, your F1 comes in effect, and you will lose your H1B benefit, meaning working privilege. You cannot specify the date for your F1 status, but it can be done when applying OPT.

Help me get this straight guys.

Would the cut off date still be Sep 2007 or will it be earlier than that after president signs it?.. if so when is it proposed to be sent to president?..

Thanks,

After president signs, it will become law within 90 days. Looking at the current senario, within six months if it gets approved, then once the president signs it out, I am thinking within 9 months period.

I am not able to find out where it says the visa limit is increased to 650K/year. But I could find this below

SEC. 202. IMMIGRANT VISA BACKLOG REDUCTION.

Section 201(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1151(d)) is amended to read as follows:

`(d) Worldwide Level of Employment-Based Immigrants- The worldwide level of employment-based immigrants under this subsection for a fiscal year is equal to the sum of--

`(1) 290,000;

Does this mean the limit is oly 290000 and not 650000 ?

screenshot

Hi,

Have someone done screenshot for his 7th year extension recently? I did screenshot once in Feb. and got the reply letter from PBEC very quikly. When I did it again in March and April, but on response. I haven't received my 45 DL, so I want to use this way to check my status.

A related ques-
If an old labor is pending and now if I file a PERM through same employer and the PERM comes thru before old labor. Then does that mean my old pending labor is not valid anymore?

But if the ol is still valid and it also comes thru - then can I file two 140 under same employer?

your old labor is still valid.

yep, you can file 2 I-140 one for each after getting the labor approval, there is no problem with it.
