Since the topic has comeup for reconverting to PERM with old PDs..or filing new LC thru PERM

2002 Dec 6th :RIR/NJ/EB3 case :just replied 45 letter

waiitng period ...after all these years of wait another 6 months is little pain for me..... like all, dont know when the evenful event of LC certification will happen..!!


2003 Oct 28th : RIR/NY/EB2 case : no news at all

not working a this company, but pining hopes cos it is EB2 case..since not working with them, I cant even ask to them to refile in PERm...while I was working the attorney took all our signatures..but backed off then, he dint want to risk losing all (about 15 guys) PD's...

Filing new LC thru PERM thru new company....: lost the patience and $$ and thinking of the new PD in 2006 is not juicy news for me..


SO..let's all start off the letter campainn....If we do this NOW...we may see some changes atleast in the next 2-3 months...

PERM Conversion

Tanveer,

The way I see it is conversion to PERM is definitely not worth it since it is too risky and we do not have any successful predecessor examples. However, if it is a new application and if the candidate is EB-2 and from the rest of the world then why would it be not worth it?

Is there anything I am missing in this picture?

Your lawyer is right. Read the following article for clarification.
http://www.murthy.com/news/UDinsigs.html

Thanks mVinays for pretty good resourceful link. I'm contemplating on this for quite some time.
Okay my understanding of this issue is that an alien can lock in his/her PD only if I-140 stage of the petition is approved. Hence for that folk to make use of his/her NY PD, NY labor needs to approved and a I-140 petition based on that NY labor needs to be approved. In his case the employer/petitioner being the same INS might allow him to skip filing I-140 for NY approved labor if I-140 was approved for the new PERM application. In concluding this for him to make use of NY Pd these should have completed for filing his/her I 485 application-

PERM approved and I-140 based on this was approved,
NY labor approved.

After this he can file I 485 based on NY labor's PD.

Hope I made no ambiguous comments.

Pl Note that I'm not expert in legal matters but this is an attempt to understand legal immigration issues and apply it towards to our case, pretty much like understanding tech/protocol specifications and applying toward inter operable product development.

cantstandit,

Great initiative. From Immigration Voice we can help you in this process too. We can setup a Web Fax to send this letter to the authorities / lawmakers. Once we setup the web fax, it takes only 2 mins for a user to send them out to multiple people and it will be free of cost to them. A number of users have used the web fax and have got replies from their lawmakers. If you would like to explore this further, email me at info@immigrationvoice.org

Really..we 'cant stand it' anymore...All of us have come to a more than saturation point with this shit...

If the mail attack is in a good number..then atleast we may see some changes in the next 1-2 months...otherwise just waiting for something to fly out of the 'pandora's box'...

************************************

Program Performance Measures

Measure: Percentage of backlogged applications for the Permanent Labor Certification program that are resolved each year (measured against backlog remaining each year).

Explanation:The goal of eliminating the backlog by the end of FY 2006 is a result of an external evaluation conducted in 2002. Lengthy processing times are a major concern for program stakeholders. Though the goal is ambitious, there is a disconnect with the published targets, which cover only the state-level backlog of 270,000 cases (not the additional cases pending at the federal level) and would not accomplish the goal within two years.

Year Target Actual
2004 N/A N/A
2005 20% 15%
2006 100%
2007

Measure: Percentage of employer applications for labor certification under the streamlined system that are resolved within six months of filing. (Measure to be reframed.)

Explanation:
Year Target Actual
2004 N/A N/A
2005 Baseline 57%
2006 2% over baseline
2007 2% over baseline

Now each of us is free to take this information and process it as one please. My take on it ?!? a new PERM app has good chances to be processed in under 6 months That might be the way out of here !!!

PERM Conversion - H1B Extension Question.

Hi Guys,

I have been a silent observer of this forum and greatly appreciate all the information and insight you guys share. My apologies in advance if this is not the right place to post this question but I could not think of a better place.

I have around 10-11 months (till Jan 2007) left before 6 years are completed on my H1B. I have a labor petition applied by my current employer (Employer–A) stuck in PBEC since 1.5 years now. I was thinking of applying for one more labor petition in PERM thru a different employer (Employer-B).

Now, the question I wanted to ask is ...

- Can I extend my H1 after the 6 year period in Jan 2007 if my labor
gets approved in PERM (thru Employer-B) by then ?

I know that its a requirement that your labor petition needs to be pending at least for an year to get the H1B extension but does this hold even after the labor is approved.

I really appreciate any help and comments from you guys.

thx
Sanksmysore

If you are not bound by some tough security barriers, please let us know the type of the source. Otherwise what will happen, although you are honest, it would be easy for people to swipe at you. Please keep reminding the thread that BEC is the problem and PERM is unjust. Even it sounds like a broken record.

It is very hard to read the truth, but my belief is that put the BECs in back burner and showcase PERM. We need to hit at this as hard as we can. PLease mention to the authorities the unjust nature of PERM in any opportunity you get.

What you mean the reliable sources. I wish it wasn't from Stefan Stefanko.
