Re: Re: Employer Remanded Cases

crazy_apple,

Totally agree, we need to do something about this. At the
minimum they should move these employer remanded cases
back to Federal and reconsider for the Carlson memorandum
criteria, and then if needed resend the 3-option letter. We have
people who are highly skilled Computer/Electronics Engineers
having several years of experience who should have qualified for
RIR & now easily qualify for the Carlson memorandum.

Guys, we cannot let DOL take the employer remanded cases on the back burner. Something has to be done. I think that all the people affected by this particular situation should plan on creating an official petition that can be sent to DOL. Wasnt there something similar created for expedited 485 processing? I do remember seeing a link like that on this site.

Thanks!

Case remanded

Hello Members

As pe rthe AVM my case was remanded on 24th OCT 2003 to state (do not know if it Auto or not). Our attorney or employer didn't hear anything about it yet.

Now I am reading in this group thet DOL is considering the remanded cases again, What is the criteria for to reconsider. Is there anyone who is in the same situation as I am ? Is anybody got certified ?

Thanks & Regards

labor certified

I just checked and my labor is now certified. It was auto remanded on July 1 2003. Then was sent back and is now certified.

Looks like DOL is processing Remanded & New Cases same time.. Good news for everybody !

Another realistic view: not only that not all Nov cases have been handled, but also that there're many cases before Nov are still waiting for a decision (like my case's RD is 5/20/02). However, it seems that DOL completly forget about the non-autoremanded cases prior to Nov. I haven't seen any post about this kind of cases in this forum for a long while.

AVM

New format of AVM Message today... Looks like now DOL is processing the cases by STATE of application as you can hear different dates for different states

California is still July to Dec 2002 but other western states under CA dol are AUGUST 2003.

Good news for some people, same old same old for guys like me.

DOL Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Codes

http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_majo.htm

Example:
If dot code is 999.172-072 : Ignore 999, click on 17-0000 & look for 17-2072

which is “17-2072 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer”

Thanks gp111

Gurus, I was wondering if its possible to somehow use the experience I gained in the current job for labor. Before current job, I had MS+0, now I have MS+5 years. Lets say my company is prepared to file labor for the next level of job for me, what will the job be and what will be the DOT code? I am currently a software engineer and I read somewhere that the experience in current job cannot be used. Please let me know. Thanks..

 

[lca_001]

Unfortunately, "next level" itself will not qualify for using current experience, as DOL may consider the next level as progressive job.

Using current experience is very difficult, it is not impossible, but very difficult, make sure you have a very good lawyer who can support the use of experience from current employer.

PERM

03/24/2004: DOL and Backlog Reduction Centers Locations

DOL has disclosed to the AILA the locations of the PERM reengineered labor certification processing centers and Backlog Reduction Centers as follows:
PERM Processing Centers: Atlanta and Chicago
Backlog Reduction Processing Centers: Philadelphia and Dallas
DOL has reported that there are over 300,000 permanent labor certification applications pending at this time. The two Backlog Reduction Centers should help to reduce the backlog cases once the centers open. The Backlog Reduction Centers are expected to be manned by private contractors and according to the unconfirmed sources of information, such contract may not be offered until May 2004. Our earlier report that some state offices started transferring backlog cases to contractors turned out to be outsourcing of backlog cases to overseas contractors by the Texas state labor certification office. It is unclear how far the overseas outsourcing of permanent labor certification applications will go in terms of the involved large states. Please stay tuned.

 

[gkmhan]

Thanks lca_001

But how can I find what is considered as progressive employment and what is considered as experience? Is there any reference I can find? Or any text that I can show to my employer? That will be really helpful.

Gurus, any other opinions? Thanks..
