radd, did you receive the LC approval notice from PBEC at your home address or they sent it to your company / attorney??
Looks like, in many cases PBEC, has mailed the LC approval letters directly to the beneficiaries.
I am curious as my address has changed from the one in the LC application. I have asked the attorney a couple of times to inform PBEC and get it updated but he seems least bothered about it.
Gurus: Is it ok for the employer to write to PBEC to get mailing address updated for the beneficiary?
Thanks.

PBEC is our issue, not retrogression
I am not discouraging iv.org. It is a good step taken by brave guys. But here we are worrying more about only Philly BEC, not retrogression. But iv.org is concentrating more on retrogression, just adding flavor PBEC. Probably most of iv.org members got 140 approved or labor cleared.
If DOL takes 2 more years to approve these labor certifications, is it possible keep our jobs? The way PBEC is working, noone is confident about whether they clear our labor certificates within 2yrs. PBEC is like hell compare to retrogression.
Let us come out of this hell, we don't care about Retrogression.
It is not only my opinion, so many PBEC victims having same opinion.

NY, the instructions to get the screenshot have been posted probably a million times here, check out the FAQ ... but if they said they couldn't process it, then that means your case is going to the "complicated" queue ... who knows when that queue will be processed ... but in any event, get the screenshot, at least you'll have proof your case is alive.
also, did u get the 45 day letter ?

sorry to hear JW ... it's just painful .. hope you get it reopened soon.
Now, this story tells us that:
- if you check your status often, and the T turns to P, your letter has to arrive in 1 or 2 months TOPS ... if you don't get the letter, start bugging your lawyer. In fact, the lawyers could be proactive and mail a letter saying "yes" to the case even without receiving the 45-day letter. Even better, have your HR write them a letter instead of the lawyers.
It's clear that their system does NOT control whether the 45 days have elapsed or not, so we'd only know when the case is about to be processed, like what happened with JW, and that means wasting several months.
Bottomline: be proactive, don't wait for the letter.

Completely Agree with you
This is very much true. Iam the biggest supporter of retrogression unless each and every body is cleared from this mess
People are struck here as long as for five years . but a person can file prem and then I-140/485 and will be able to get the green card in less then 2 years.Is this fair
I think retrogression is only good thing . retrogression has to stey untill BEC IS COMPLETELY ELIMINATED
Guys I replied 45 days letter in November although my lawyer got the screenshot. But when my employer has requested case status information he got generic reply I mean the standard reply which every body gets . when My
Employer requested screen shot twice we did not get any reply . why it is so ? are they not responsing screen shot now a days

I am sure that there are many people here (like me) who know that their cases start with P but they dont have 45 days letter. lawyer says that all that she has been able to get is that the case is in pbec. pbec has become worse that indian govt offices !!! I wonder why lawyers like Murthy, AILA are not making noises about this mess, cases being closed etc etc. compared to people who file in PERM the backlogged people are in huge numbers ..but all you see in the newsletter is PERM, NIW etc etc !@#@@cantstandit said:

If Retrogression cleared, big loosers are PBEC victims
For Retrogression any bill passes, we have to face another issue. We should request USCIS not to remove the cutoff date, unless PBEC clears all labor certificates. If iv.org seriously thinking Retrogression isssue, then they are creating another big mess for PBEC victims. They are not considering PBEC at all. Just trying to add the falvour PBEC to gather some more people.

45 day letter send status/date
JW my heartfelt sympathies to you.
I'm not sure I understand your point 'their system does NOT control whether 45 days have elapsed or not'
They closed the case because either the attorney/employer did not respond to 45-day letter. So somehow they know that 45 days or more have passed since they issued letters. How do they know this? They must be tagging something to make sure they have issued 45 days letter for a case/cases.
BEC need to clarify this somehow, it’s utterly insane to close case and have it reopened.
