Subject: Status Update

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can you please provide us with the status information on the following case number

Here are the details of my Permanent labor.

ETA #: x-xxxxx-xxxx
Company Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alien Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Priority Date: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I got an automated message... within a minute. I got the real message this morning.
 
Can anyone confirm that your case number remains the same after 45-day letter with only T- changing to P-? Was there a case where the number actually changed too? The reason I ask is that our HR suddenly decided not to give out LC case numbers, but I already know the T- number. Thanks guys.
 
Strange response

What kind of a response did you get? Anything that made any sense?

Thanks Days_go_by and NYLabor2002 for providing the DOL Secretary's contact information. I faxed my letter to Ms. Chao today and also called her office to confirm they received it. Ms. Chao's staff is quite polite. Whether or not they will help expedite approval of my LC is to be seen.
