DOL new guideline

Hi, guys,

For the DOL guideline regarding MS+0 year experience, I am trying to understand if DOL is giving more talerance in addition to allowing to modify the job requirements.


Did anybody has original statement of the 3 options before the new guideline was issued? Particular the retest market part. For the new guideline, the retest market requires ONLY 1 day advertisement. Does that mean more talerance was given for the those un-directly immediately qualified cases( below BS+3 year or MS+half yearS)? I might be too eager to translate some positive info from the new guideline.

Thanks,
 
memorandum

I wrote a letter to Senator Feinstein to bring her attention to California Regional DOL's failure to ahere to the memorandum published by DOL for all regional certifying officers. The memorandum clearly stated that all cases (as long as the files are complete) should be EITHER certified (if job requiremes BS + 3 or more years of experience or MS degree) OR be given the option to re-test the labor market. California Regional DOL is excluding all cases that require BS+0 years of experience in its recall of the remanded cases from California EDD even though these cases may benefit from the re-test option. The memorandum also allows the employer to modify the job requirement when conducting the re-test. This particular provision was provided especially for those cases filed as BS+0 years of experience since employers were encouraged to file the case as such even though the employeers may have years of experience prior to joining the company.

Finally, I encourage all of you to write to Senator Feinstein or Senator Boxer to express your frustration with California Regional DOL which does not care to do what is right. Without pressure, CA DOL is always trying to do the least work possible by tossing out as many cases as possible.

Below are the web sites of the senators:

I think the case with MS+0, there should be sufficient recruitment information, there should be no layoffs etc

Need inputs for my RIR

Dear Friends,

This is my very first time on this excellent forum and I'll appreciate much in advance if any of you could give me some inputs on my case--EB3, RIR with DOT code: 999.151--041.
I submitted my LC application to California SWA in November, 2001 and forwarded to S.F. regional office in March, 2003 after two assessment notices (one is for incorrect data entered in the form, the other is for internal posting).
1. How does the new RIR guidance affect my case? (My position requires Bachelor with 2 years of experience and I have Master degree with 2 years)
2. In light of the new guidance, Bachelor+3 and Master+6 months, I'll be kick out; but I have a very detailed recruitment report to address how other 3 applicants did not qualify for this.
3. I serve as assistive technology(technology for people with disabilities) staff in higher education in eastern California (countryside of CA).

Thanks a lot.
Sam
 
3 options

Hi,
Can anyone tell if the employer choose to send the case (MS+0 experience) back to SWA for regular process without retest market, will the case be returned to DOL by SWA agent automatically or not?

If yes, seems the (MS+0) cases (without retest market) seems will be remanded again or denied completely since no more new inforamtion is added? Is that right?

My buddy's case was remanded back in July, and it just got approved on Nov. 25. Here is some detailed information.

Receiced by DOL in August 2002
DOT code is 999.151-071
EB2 RIR

Cheers! Patience eventually pays off...

P.S. I am expecting to get mine in a couple months (received by DOL in Jan. 2003)
 
To Hello The_Dude

Hello The_Dude,

Did ur friend get papers in hand. ? If its AVM message then I am skeptical about the status.

The AVM said for one week (from Nov 17 - 23 )"Certified" to me. But the next week onwards it says the status again as "Returned by state after a remand".


So until he gets papers you cant assume anything.


But on the otherhand, my friends case was also update to Certified on Nov 17th (Same as mine). But he received papers the next week and even now it says the status as "Certified".

Not sure why my case became like that .... The only difference between our cases is DOT code... Mine is xxx.xxx-031 and his dot code is xxx.xxx-032.


Whats ur friends DOT code ?

Thanks
World

You can apply for extension before 90 days but check with your HR/Attorney if you need LCA also (if LCA is also expired), then it will be a good idea to start the procedure now.

Yes, you are legal once you get the receipt of your Extension application.

I thought you cannot file for extension until you reach your last 6 months. That means Raj!234 at the earliest can file only in Feb. Am I wrong?
