I agree with your idea of writing seperately to
Mr Carlson. But we should be requesting the
same thing in our respective letters. When there
are enough letters on his table he will think of
doing something.
BTW, Try calling the following num :
Foreign Labor Certification, Wshington DC, 202-693-3010.
OR
State EDD (California) - 916-464-3400
We can ask them to clarify on Carlson memo.

Can somebody post a sample letter
It would be a good idea if someone could post a sample letter that we could sign and post to DOL. I know i am not good at it, someone could take up that challenge and i'll definitely post it.

Employer remanded cases
Ok.. in that case, I will work on a draft letter and post it here. Everybody affected can modify it according to their circumstances and then mail it to Carlson. I shall try to have it in by Monday.
I do not know whether everybody calling the DOL and obtaining updates on the Carlson memo, will further our case for a speedy decision. By doing so, we may only be annoying the lowest level of people. Our efforts need to be directed towards influencing the highest level of people in the DOL, prodding them to act favourably.
Bhadrinath, can you summarize the Carlson memo based on the discussion that you have with the DOL over phone ? We all know the general guidelines, but if there is something else that has come to your attention, please post it to this forum.
Again I urge the silent observers to try and contribute your status/opinion to this forum. No matter how little you think your contribution may be, overall it will help a lot of people.

Re: Employer remanded cases
I found a good site for the summary of Carlson memo -
http://www.tafapolskyandsmith.com/news/2003dec8a.html
(especially read the last para).
When I called the CA DOL state office to get the clarrification
on Carlson memo regarding employer chosen remands, the
person on the other end refused to talk to me about that
since I am not an attorney or the employer. She said that
they cant discuss these things with anyone else but an
attorney....
So that door was shut too :-(

Re: LC Approved
hi blkhawk
congrats for approved labor.
I have a question.
your application reached DOL at SFO on March 2003
how come websites showing that SFO DOL currently process Nov 2002 apps ?
My application was filed in Calif itself (Aug 2002) and was sent to DOL on Jul 2003.
Based on your processing can I assume that mine will be done in 4-5 months ?
Anybody with same time lines ?
thanks for your time and help.

Re: Re: LC Approved
I think the correct date is Sept. 2002. I don't know why blkhawk's case was certified so quickly. Probably because it was filed in Nevada. I have a friend whose LC was sent to DOL in Feb, 2003 and has not heard anything from DOL. Mine was sent to DOL in Sept. 2003.

Re: Employer remanded cases
I am in the same boat of Employer remanded cases. However, it is even worse. The requirement is MS+0 years. I am not sure how many people in the same boat with mine. I will definitely support this letter. However, my attorney expected that if it return back to DOL , then it will be remanded to SWA again since it does not qualify for the immediately certifying requirement. Anybody in the same boat?

Re: Re: LC Approved
Considering that EDD will be taking until April to forward all remanded applications back to DOL, and DOL as is currently giving priority those cases, dont expect (but always hope
)any certification for cases in 2003 untill the later half of this year.

DOL is not going consider your experience, it is the experience requirement for the LC app. According to the new Memo if the LC app has been applied requiring BS+0 yrs then those app will not be returned back to DOL.
The reason why your lawyer would have done BS + 0 is to avoid unnecessary queries from DOL, that indeed was one point of time. But now for these remanded cases the BS+0 has really become a bad factor.
Not to dishearten you but thats the fact I know of. Hopefully DOL will make a new decision to consider doing the remanded BS+0 also.

Employer remanded cases
Employer Remand case people:
Not a good news - Following is the email response I received
from our lawyer :
******
We have been waiting for confirmation from DOL as to whether cases remanded at the request of the employer will benefit from the Carlson memo. Based on the information I have been receiving, the Carlson memo does not help cases like your and they will stay at EDD and not be remanded back to DOL.
Unfortunately fairness is not an issue here. The purpose of the memo was to address the "auto remands" where the employer was not given a choice as to whether to readvertise or have the case remanded. I agree with you that it was not fair.

Re: what about bs+0years experience....
Well, you might get lucky and DOL may give you an option to modify your application and then retest the market.
Maybe then you can use your experience. Check with your lawyer and see if this is an option. Ofcourse, your company has to also agree to retest the market. So, hope for the best.

Remaded Cases
I was checking the AVM and was trying some random case # and arrived at the following
DOL has re-processed the Remanded cases which has RD at DOL as Sep 16/2002.
Another finding is DOL has completed action (or issued NOF) for cases returned to DOL from SESA by Dec 31/2004.
