Hey GP,
Yeah, DOL seems to have slowed down again.... Or maybe, they are not updating the AVM.... 'Cause AVM seems to be updated on saturdays unlike usual..... Either case they went pretty fast upto 01/15/2003 and now they are back to snail pace.....

OMB Review Deadline for PERM Final Regulation Review - June 21, 2004
OMB Review Deadline for PERM Final Regulation Review - June 21, 2004
The regulations of the agencies are reviewed by the OIRA (Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs) within the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) under the Executive Order 12866 which was published in the Federal Register, Volume 58, No. 190, October 4, 1993. Under Section 6 (b)(2)(B) of the Executive Order, in the current instance of PERM regulation situation, the OIRA is required to complete the review within 90 days from the date of receipt of the information from the agency, which expired on May 21, 2004. However, Section 6(b)(2)(C) provides that the review process may be extended (1) once by no more than 30 calendar days under the written approval of the Director and (2) at the request of the agency head. At the AILA Annual Conference in Philadelphia, the Chief of the Foreign Labor Certification of DOL indeed admitted that on May 21, the OMB's 90-day deadline expired and the DOL requested OIRA for extension. It thus appears that neither the OMB nor DOL can extend the completion of the review process beyond June 21, 2004, next Monday. It is thus obvious that whether there is a published report or not, the OMB review will be completed by next Monday and the DOL will publish it in the federal register at certain date thereafter, which is likely early July.

Someone from our office asked our HR guys about this news and
they said that this news is mis-typed and the correct news should
be as follows :
*****
DOL stated that all RIR cases had been returned to the Region except those cases where the position required BS + 0 years experience or cases where the employer requested that the case be remanded to the SWA. The DOL did have the state return cases that were remanded at the employer's request if the job requirements made the case approvable under the Carlson Memo (BS +3, MS + 6 mo); however, for all other RIR cases where the employer requested remand, DOL is not recalling them. Those cases are still at EDD, and remain in the regular, non-RIR queue for processing.

Makes sense - 3 Years for a labor still no clue when they will process that to me is.
Looks like what Bhadrinath mentioned makes sense, because we have not seen any approval or any action on cases remaned with BS+0 experience.
To me, I think we are the most unfortunate because we dont know when any action at all will be taken with remanded cases with zero experience. Also me I am so unfortunate becuase my attorney applied with zero experience when I had more than 5 years experience when I joined my company.
Atleast others who are in the queue know at what time frame they will process thier application may months from now. If that itself is furstrating think about us....you might be litttle relieved.
But for us....we just hope we have a job till they make any decision on our labor and then again I140..485........after all these I am still here In U.S. because I think may GOD has some purpose in my life...(May sound wierd) but I think thats true....
Just pouring my feelings here...........Good Luck to rest...
3 Years for a labor still no clue when they will process that to me is......dont know what to say...
Cheers

It is definitley not old news....
because in the earlier guidelines there was no information about emplyer remanded cases. Our case adheres to the Carlson memo (employer remanded) but the phone status still says "remanded back to state", so we are hoping that it does go back to the DOL.
Just hoping this news is actually a guideline, since not heard about it anywhere.

7th year H1 extension and transfer
Guys,
Please help,
Labour filed in California 2001 August, RIR denied and is now back to Regular Queue.
H1 expiring Dec'04. Employer ready to extend my h1 for 7th year.
I think my job is stable for one year so i do not want to leave my job also for now.
After one year i am not sure, so if i decide to switch employee during my 7th year
is it possible?
(If the new employer has an approved labour OR is willing to file for one in fast
moving states).?

Not sure what this really means. My case was remanded in April, 2003. AVM still says remanded to state. Does this mean that my case is in the Non RIR queue ??. Can someone shed some light please ?????

How do you know that RIR was denied ? Do you get a letter of some sort that says that RIR was denied ??
Case Status..
Hi there,
My labor application was transferred from state to the SFO DOL in 2003. My questions are:
1. How do I find the case number (I do have a copy of the letter that EDD sent stating that the case has been transfered to SFO). But, I don't see any reference to a case number.
2. Is there a number/web-site that I could use to ensure that the SFO office has received my application (status??).
Thanks
Ela
