Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

RIR2002
My ETA# is very similar to yours. I really dont know why we have not received a 45-day letter. I also dont know whether our applications being in Data Review without a 45 day letter is something bad or normal.
My details are:
PD: 12/20/2002
Case number: P-04337-0xxxx
State: CA
Category: EB2

RC
 
question to Saknia

Hi Saknia,
My employer just called the number (202-693-3010) and was told my case is in Philli with analyst and will be forwarded to be certified. Do you know how long it will get certified per your experience on other people's cases?
thanks a lot!
 
When I called the 202 number (in the past one week), I was told on two occasions that the employee cannot request status information. However, when I called today a lady transferred my call to a guy who told me that my case is with an analyst. Hopefully my case will clear labor in another year.

MD, EB3, MS+4yrs at time of application,

Check with your attorney or request a screen shot. Your 45 DL should have been sent a few months ago. ETA case numbers starting with a P have their data entry completed and a 45DL generated. MAybe your attorney has not communicated to you that he had received and replied to the letter.
 
No 45 day letter yet

I do not believe that there is a direct relationship between the P on the case number and the 45 day letter.
My snapshot shows my number as P05143-xxxxx. However, I have not so far received the letter. When I called DC, an analyst pulled up my case, and confirmed that the 45 day letter has not been sent out this far.
He was not willing to share any other info.

Case no. P05143-xxxxx

I will agree with that-same thing happen to me- when my boss called- got same excact answer a while ago-maybe they put P for cases that already gone thru regional offices before PBEC?

I do not think that the Regional logic is correct either. I have a P, but my case never got to Regional.

Well, we can never identify a pattern or discern a reason for the actions or non-actions of the BECs.

Generated and sent out are two different things. We know that the DOL do not send out the 45DL the day it is generated. There is some lag time between the generation and the letter being put in the mail. As for the correlation between the ETA number starting with a P and the 45DL, there has been numerous post confirming it. For more information, you can go through the DOL FAQ and various attorneys' FAQ.

Well, from the agent I spoke to today, he clearly mentioned that the 45-DL has not been sent out for my application and it is in Data Review stage. I guess if it was generated but not sent out my case would have moved from Data Review stage. And my case number has had a P for the past 4 months.

So I am not sure about the logic that a P implies 45-DL generated.

My Info:
ETA Case Number: P-04337-0XXXX
Priority Date:12/20/2002
Processing Type:RIR
Case Source:Region

I guess there might be an additional stage between the P and the 45DL.

P gets generated when the data entry into the system is completed.

45DL get sent out with any RFE.

So maybe in between there is Data Review to check if any RFE needs to be attached to the letter.

Again just my guess.

MDWatch,
Do you have an estimate of the time lag between the P and the 45 day letter.
My screenshot in 09/2005 showed a P for the case number. However, when I spoke to the analyst last week, the 45 day letter was still not sent out.

Obviously, either the previous posts are not 100% applicable to all cases, or the PBEC policies have changed in the interim.
 
Called 202-693-3010 and got a response...

Dear Fellow Sufferers...

I called the above number a left a voicemail during the lunch time. A gentle man with name Mark returned my call. He was courteous and very nice. He asked for the case number, verified the employer name and mentioned that my lawyer responded to 45D letter on 11th Jan 2005 (a correction of what I knew). He also mentioned that my case was assigned an analyst in Sept 2005 and analyst is reviewing it since per RIR guidelines... when I asked him when this will be certified, he said "they" are working to make sure that all the cases would be taken care of by Sept 2007 end and mine will be pretty sooner than this...

I just dont understand W T F%$# this Son (or Daughter or Whatever) Of Bi%$^ Freek is doing on my case for the F^*&'ing one year....

Well now even if DOL establishes a website about the case status, it can be of some great help to those who havent received or lost 45D letter and make sure that their case is still in good standing but not to those who knows that its already in good standing... I strongly feel that there will be no basis or information of certification deadline projection on this website...

I am atleast glad that my case is not messed up so far... THANK GOD...

Good luck...

Gurus,

My attorney enquired for case status via email and got a reply as following.

Now, what does the highlighted sentence mean,

A. is it generic reply
B. Case is in Review state

Any guess how long is the wait ?
