Actually I think its true. Few days back my attorney told me he received 2 approvals from philly BPC but he refused to tell me more saying he cannot give away his client's information so I was not sure if he is right or just bluffing. All he said was those 2 cases were filed long before my PD.

gp111, nothing is good news until we get our LC approval. So please don't say this is a good news. Tomorrow these assholes will pass a new rule saying everyone will get I-140 and 485 approval within a day. What is the use of these kinda bullshits if we don't get our LC approval?

One day everything will become current and we will still be sitting and waiting for this fu**ing LC. These assholes are fuc*** us big time man.

I am waiting for more than 31/2 yrs for this bullshit LC.
Please don't take it in a wrong way. I am really really frustrated just like others.

Yesterday i talked to one of the immigration attronys working closely with BRC. I asked her if my case will be cleared anytime sooner? She said "When people from BRC can not answer this question, how can i give you an answer?"
She honestly told me that even the BRC's does not know how they are going to handle the situation.
 

Something is better than nothing..for sure. But, 2 approvals are probably nothing to cheer about when tons and tons of LC applications are sitting at BPC and no one knows when they would even be touched.....

I hope though that this is first of many many approvals we would see shortly.............(Honestly..I am hoping against the hope :( )
 
I have MS in checmical engineering. But thelabor certification needs BS in electrical engineering.
May lawyer says, my MS in checmical and my experiacne is equivalent to BS in Computer Science. Since I am working as Software engineer, BS in Compuetr science is better than BS in Electrical engineering. Have you heard of this kind of case.
Thanks again.

Its not a match.. MS in Chemical Engineering is not equal to the requirements MS in Electrical Engineering. If may (agian, may) have some difficulties using this substitute LC.

What was your Bachelors in ??
What is the requirements in Labor ?? BS in EE plus how many years ?

Because in that case you have to have experience on that many years after your BSCS (as you said, your exp in Computer +MS Chem)... Same Experience Years cannot be used for Both DEGREE EVALUATION & Experience Requirements.

BUT, Again as I said earlier, It all depends on How USCIS's take on this. They might rise issue.. there is chance of RFE.. If your attorney is confident there should not be a problem. I would keep my current LC alive as backup

Ppl, please refrain from personal questions ( i saw on the previous page someone is talking about H4, I sympathize with him, but I think this is not appropriate thread for personal questions particularly H4. Just imagine if everybody starts posting their personal problem here, what will happen to our awareness efforts)

All naysayers, if Gandhiji believed in people like you, you would be washing cloth of some "gora".

I would rather not agree with your views about others expressing there concerns here , Every one has his own concern like you who are expressing there concern here. If you dont know the answer you dont have to read. This is free and unmoderated forum where you get lot of usefull info, thats why this is more popular for all kind of questions. Dont try to force your openion like in the last sentence for people who say Nay. You are more than wellcome to start a new thread (Remember this thread was opend specific to BEC Philly like, SFO,Dallas and not for awareness programmes,)

Dont Discourage others with your empathies

In your own Quote
All Yeah sayers, if Gandhiji is believed in people like you "NA GHAR KA NA GHAT KA " who plead & Beg with GORA to to wash there clothes away from there HOME

I appreciate your efforts but not your attitude

Found this BEC update in another forum

This post on Murthy's site confirms that processing has started at the BPCs.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_perbac.html
Specifically this section below :
Cases Pending at BPCs
The DOL reported that the Backlog Processing / Elimination Centers (BPCs) received approximately 250,000 pending cases by mid-March 2005. Many of these are still being data processed. A small number of BPC personnel are now processing labor certifications, though the DOL did not have a processing time estimate since the majority of the BPC personnel are still working on data entry. As of this writing, we at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C. have not received any substantive action (approval, denial, Notice of Finding) from the BPCs.
 
The attorney of my company informed me that they received 45-day letter from Philadelphia.
No idea when it will be processed.

I did a simple analysis from the DOL database

It is said that BPC received 250000 cases, So 250000-70444=179556 should be the case received by regional office after 9/17/2004 + the case directly from SWA.
2500000 is a huge number, suppose they process 90/per day/per BPC (the number mostly used in this forum) and it will need1389 working day or about 5 years if they start from today.
Do they start? Can BPC reach their goal in 24-36 months? Probably it at least need 72 months.
Are we ready to wait for 5 years?

What I suggest is we need include some data in the letter to support our complain.

The 90 cases/day/BPC is based on the curent number of analysyts working on cases(analysing). That number is currently less than 15. Later on all the analysts are expected to work on processing cases. So 24-30 months looks realistic.

May be i am wrong but thats what i understood from the above

What do u mean by processed by Regional Office
Did they recieve or adjudicate these cases.

The Pending national cases does not equal to Trasnferred cases.

The total cases Transferred to BEC = (Recieved at RO + Recived at SWA untill 12/05) = 300k
 
Hope this would be helpful

PD: May 19, 2003
Florida
Fwd to Atl: Oct. 22, 2003
Letter recd: April 13, 2005
Resp: April 18 by fax

Open Access database published by DOL (FY2004, FY2003, FY2002, FY2001, and FY2000); Got total case number for each FY, those are the case number received by Regional office; then sort the data by Last_Sig_Event, I count all of them still marked as "received Regional office", the difference between total number and the number with "received Regional office" are considered as processed by Regional Office. Those are certified, NOF issued, and so on.

We can compare the DOL efficiency from those number, it was down from 2003. Only 236 cases received from 1/1/2004-9/17/2004 were processed in California, 235 of them were university job. Only one luck guy got certified and he didn't work for University. His PD was 2001, but RD is 2004, I can't remember his case number.

I understand 70444 is not exactly number shipped to BRC, however this is only offical data I have. I have no idea how many cases after 9/17/2004 received by Regional office, how many cases in SWA.

What I can guess is the cases shipped to BRC with RD before 9/17/2004 should be smaller than 70444, because some regional offices are still working after 9/17/2004.

Since my hotline is not working anymore, I called my lawyer and this is what she has to say about Dallas BEC (which should be similar to Phili BEC). They have started processing Aapril 2001 cases, and they suspect it will take atleast an year to clear that.


I do not know how true it is, I hope it is not, but then thats is what I have been told. I guess we saw some post April 2001 approval, which according to the above theory is at best random, most of the cases approved right now are the April 2001 ones.

r u talking about RIR cases or traditional?
 
Any suggestions?

Hi Guys,

Here is my situation:

My LC application is pending at Philly BPC.

PD : 06/2003
RD : 02/2004
EB2/RIR

Nobody know how long its going to take for the approval and it appears to be almost sure that EB2 is also going to retrogress in next fiscal year (from Oct 2005).

I got a company who got a pre-approved labor for a high amout and planning to apply thru them. Suppose, if I join that company after I-140 is approved and 485 is rejected, wat would be my status? My H1 period ends in July 2005.

Is it better to go for the pre-approved labor or just wait for the pending LC at BPC?

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Couple of thoughts:

1. Answer to your question, I believe if your 140 / 485 rejected, you becme ineligible for another application for x years (I culd be wrong but I thought thats how it works.. best to check with a lawyer)

2. If your H1-B 6 years end in Jul 05, you need your present PD, at least until you can get your H1-B extended for at least another yr... then you can transfer and if lucky get 140 approved and EAD / AP in hand before your 7th year H1-B expires.
Remember, in case of labor substitution your PD becomes the date of the 140 application date. (again please chck with lawyer)

hope this helps - and good luck.
 
You mean you are paying a company for pre-approved labor..?? Be very very careful with that. Note that pre-approved labor is not panacea.. at I-140, DOL is looking at them more and more suspeciously because of 'trading' of LCs. If you don't have LC pending and 485 is rejected, I guess, you are w/o any status. You could kill some time thru appeals and all but don't know..
 
lc question
