Good to see a NY approval from 2002. I hope my wait isn't that far away, I have waited long enough I would think.

Congratulations!

Wrong Group - please put the question here.

Regarding your Labour Certification pending at PBEC, which state you filed from? Did it made it to the regional? Is it EB2 or EB3? Thanks.
 
Mails to senator

Hi Fellow Sufferers,
Does it help sending mails to the Congress and senate representatives. Would it cause a problem if both these represetatives send a query to the DOL.

Pd Jul 2002 , Ca , Eb2, RIR
 
I found out today that my case is closed AGAIN. D*mn! Two months ago I asked congressman for help to track the status of my re-opened case. And they found out that my employer's address is not current. My company has gone through acquisition three times so far. I'm in the course to push my attorney to find out why PBEC hasn't updated the address and other information. Then Bang! the case is closed.

The attorney sent the request to re-open the case with the current information. However PBEC/DOL certainly hasn't done the update.

What I've learned from this are
1. BEC is sending out 45-day letters for the re-open cases, though it really seems an unnecessary step. So if your case is re-opened and stays in DATA REVIEW for quite a while and you haven't received the letter, be alert! There may be something wrong in your case just like mine without current information.

2. Congresspersons are really a helpful resource. I would highly recommend you to ask them for help if your PD is in 2001 or 2002. They have liaisons at DOL who can find useful information much quicker than your attorneys.

It's hard to tell. But if I were you I would contact them one by one. Some people found that senator's response isn't as helpful as congressperson's.
 
BEC update from immigration law website

11/30/2006: Can You Believe It That BECs Must Eliminate All the Backlog Cases in About 10 Months From Now?
  • BECs have yet to release information on the total number of pending backlog cases, but various reports indicate that the BECs still process supervised recruitments for TR cases with priority dates ranging from 2001 to early 2002. Without doubt, they still must have a huge number of TR cases to process. Unlike RIR cases, each TR case requires a "time consuming" supervised recruitment process before they can adjudicate it. We wonder what "magic" plan they have to achieve the goal. We will have to review and analyze their FY 2007 budget proposal which has yet to pass the Congress, but as it stands now, there is no funding for the BECs beyond 09/30/2007, meaning that literally all cases must be eliminated and the BECs must shut down by the date. We hope that something will come out of their scheduled state-BEC workforce training meetings in San Antonio, Texas, next week. So far, it appears that the RIR backlog cases have been moving along fairly satisfactorily. Please stay tuned for the development of this news.

NOF in Labor

Hi friends,

I happened to call that 484 number provided in this tread earlier. I asked the lady if she could tell me the status on my case. She said i need to check it online, i told her online status has always stayed the same ever since the site became available. Anyways she asked me for last 5 digits and toojk my first name last name and employer info and said they have NOFed it and they, either will or already have sent out the letter . Does anyone know what kind of NOFs they send out in labor. Would realy appreciate your inputs. After more then 3 years of wait it is really painful to get NOF. Thanks for your input in advance.

NOF (Notice of Finding) is issued due to Salary and Recruitment issues. However, each case is unique. Generally your Lawyer need to send a reply (on the NOF) to BEC. There are cases of approvals after receiving NOF. Please browse through this thread, Dallas BEC thread and NOF Related issues thread.
