Lets try to raise awareness
I am in support for sending letters to congressmen and senators, but I am not sure how do we differentiate our request from the retrogression issue? So many people (including myself) have been sending fax/calling about the EB retro issue, that it is going to be difficult for us. With H1B and EB visa number issues, I think our issue has taken a back burner.
However, if this issue doesn't get addressed we are ones who will be affected, and we will be responsible for it. Hence, I feel we should start early, it is going to take time for making congressmen/senators and anyother lawmakers aware of the issue. My company has 10-15 people in this Q and we all agree the same.
I have heard that sometime in Feb there is going to be some immigration reform bill being introduced, I think that should be our target.
Let us discuss what we can do and lets come up with a plan of action.

Question
Guys, I believe PBEC is approving cases based on receipt date of 45 days letter. Has anyone looked closely into this. b'cos when i was talking to the lady this morning she said they dont care for PD, RD, RIR/Non-RIR, or EB1/EB2/EB3. They just process the applications for which they received 45 days letters. So looks like the FIFO is based on receipt date of 45 days letter. And she also told they are doing this only for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003. any comments...

PBEC is a complete mess
They don't seem to have any strategy. Everytime you call, they just make up something in their mind and tell you. Everytime you talk, they give you different answer.

GC_Lover said:waiting_labor has replied to his 45-day letter in Aug 2005, hmmm...does that mean your analysis about 45-day letter is right?
Yes it is still right. Becuase if they follow only 45 days Letter how come they approve a letter of Aug 2005 in just 4 months while all the other 45 Days letters issued since Nov 2004 are still waiting there
The 45 Day Letter queue theory does not hold good.
One thing is clear from all the processing they do
They go by Boxes which get assigned to Reviewing & Officers. While an Offcier for VA & MD has a Box of VA & MD cases for 2001 & 2002 another New offcier could have got a Box with 2003 Atlanta cases. Hence this jump in FIFO.
So far they have opened
VA, MD - Cases from 2001 & 2002
NY - cases from 2001 ( and some from 2003 where they have opened another Box for a New officer who just got 2003 cases instaed of 2001/2002)
ATL - May be they got some 2003 Boxes sent 45 days letter and kept the cases open and adjudicated fast

My Situation
ETA Case Number: T-05192-08xxx
PD: 06/02/2003
State: NY
45-Day letter: NOT received
The following case had LC approved just two months after 45-day letter. So is this saying that NY is processing cases around Jan. 2002?
