Thanks Vexlak, days_go_by and ss1026. It is indeed http://immigrationvoice.org
I was sceptical at first, but I have watched them for the last 6 months and they really are putting a lot of work. Especially during the summer, core IV guys worked hard to get the senate to approve a bill with all the provisions including streamlining labor certification applications. Anyways, thats the reason I contributed money twice (remember IV is a grassroots organisation made of people like you and me that want to highlight our situation)
 
Got the same thing via info@

I sent a email to Info@PHI.DFLC.US from my work email on 9/6, and received a reply within 2 seconds saying that it is still in process, and I will receive a 45-day letter very soon. This morning, I received an email from Info@PHI.DFLC.US saying the status is certified. But my attorney have not received anything yet. My attorney will call the Phiily center.

Here is the reply from Philly backlog center:

Windynewyork,

Final review

Guys, does anyone know how long cases stay in final review? My case is still "assigned to an analyst"...which is not great...but I wonder if it ever gets to "final review" stage...what's the wait there?
This is so frustrating :mad: :mad: :mad:

I have the same question. Can anyone who is already certified kindly answer?
 
Labor approved: June 2003, CA, RIR

Today I received a notification from my law firm that my labor has been approved. Details can be found in my signature. This forum has been very helpful, specially, the tracker for providing hope during the desperate wait. I can understand the painful wait and I hope that everybody will be out of this PBEC mess very soon now, specially, 2001/2002 folks.

VA_June2002,
Was your labor filed in EB2 or EB3?

Re: Status Check

My manager called up the 202 number and was told that they would have an online status from monday. The person on the line did tell that my labor application was under "Final Review" .
Any idea how long does it take to move from Final Review to Approval ?

Also, when I got my screen shot my occupation code was filled up but my prevailing wage column was still unfilled.

The occupation code filled up in my case is what my company had provided and is not a standard analyst position that I have seen in other cases.

Thanks,

I seldom post in this forum but wanted to share my experience regarding getting status from PBEC.

8/15: I asked my coworker to call 202 number to get status of my case. She said, BEC guy told her that it was just processed that day and about to be assigned to a case analyst. She asked how long does it take before we get the approval. The guy said about 2-3 months.

8/23: I've sent a status request via email to info email add. A few minutes later, I got the automated response.

8/30: I've sent another status request via email to info email add. A few minutes later, I got the same automated response.. After about 6 hours, I received another email but this time it looks like a person has actually sent that email saying that my case is already in final review. I scrolled down all the way to the very end of the email just to check which of my status request they have replied to and found out that they have replied to the one I have sent on 8/23.

9/06: I received an automated response from them saying that the case is awaiting further review.. blah..blah..blah. Didn't request info from them that day.. I actually have not tried to reach them since 8/30.

just sharing..

PBEC is in a BIG mess. I got my first screen-shot on March 3d 2006 and all the fields are properly filled in. Still no approval.. There is no gaurantee that if all the fields in the screen-shot are filled then it will be approved.

If you are lucky, you'll get it otherwise....

From the earlier posts, it seems that the minimum wait is 4 months. I found on June 26th 2006 that my case status is "FINAL REVIEW". But god only knows since when it is stuck at that status. I am still waiting. In the mean time, my company agreed to start another PERM application for me. Though I hate to say this, but those who are in FINAL REVIEW stage , please don't be over optimisitc.
