Well, I cannot say that it is nice to see so many employer remanded cases, but nevertheless, we can say that there are some people who share the same pain. It just does not make sense for DOL to exclude the employer-remanded cases from the recent guidance.
I propose we write a letter to :
William L. Carlson, Ph.D.,
Chief, Division of Foreign Labor Certifications,
U.S. Department of Labor,
200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room C-4318,
Washington, DC 20210.
asking that an addendeum be added to his historical memo, to also include employer-remanded cases and accord it the same status as auto-remanded cases.
We could take a joint initiative or go separately i.e write individual letters. The idea behind Carlson memo, was to reduce the backlog of DOL, and to make way for the eventual implementation of PERM. If such is the intention, then I am sure that the reason that employer-remanded cases were not addressed, was in fact, an oversight. If we bring this oversight to the attention of Carlson, then I feel, he will act upon it. Of course, more the number of letters/beneficiaries the better.
I think the LC has kept us in a limbo for a long time and now its high time we took some action on improving our situation. If anybody else has any other suggestions, its high time for you to come out with those alternatives.
