Sub: Huge Administrative Delay in Foreign Labor Certification Application approval process at Department Of Labor
Dear Mr. President,
Hope you and your family are doing well.
We are regular legal people in USA who pay taxes, follow the law and all rules require in order to get our permanent resident in this country. We know you have the best intention to help as much as you can all of the illegal people. However, we would like to call your attention over the legal’s’ people who are suffering under the process to get our permanent resident, through H1B working visa, even know that we have been here legal since our companies decided to hire us.
Knowing that one of your suggestion is to give working visas to most of this illegal people, we consider important you to know the huge delay in LCA approval process at DOL’s two Backlog Eliminitation Center, most notably the Philadelphia BEC. We started our application with DOL more than 4 years ago. Having passed almost two years since the commencement of two BECs, We have not received our approval certification of labor. Additional, there is not even an option for status check or an indication when our application will be considered. This situation is hurting our companies and us because H1B extension visas cost large amount of money, process is taking long time and are extenting just a year once 6 years-period is complete.
I would like you ask yourself couples question
1. Do you believe your suggestion can work knowing that Department of labor could not have handled less than 350.000 application in 5 years?
2. Could you imagine 12 million persons applying to get their certification of labor through the current Department of labor administration? You may get your certification of labor for your working visa or permanent resident in 50 years o maybe more.
3. What is the benefit of being legal and follows the law? It is why more people prefer to be illegal because going through this nightmare and its Stone Age process generates more pain than profit.
In the other hand, our families are suffering constantly in numerous ways such as our spouses can work because this issue, we cannot buy a house or take a meaningful vacation due to such insecurity. Now we have ended up fighting DOL’s Administrative Delays that seems like a long dark tunnel, with no light insight. I really appreciate if you take the necessary measures to speed up the approval process.
Thanks Mr. President for your leadership and determination to make of this country and this world a better place to live and a place where freedom should be the flag that join us.
Sincerely
Victims of the Department of Labor delays.
