Unopened cases what does that mean???
Folks,
I know all of us going thru rough time..hopefully it will be worth our wait......
DOL has issued a memorandum detailing the schedules of unprocessed labor certification cases from the state offices to the newly created and operating National Backlog Processing Centers in Philadelphia and Dallas on the following schedules:
Cases Received Before 01/01/2003: Ship to the Backlog Processing Centers no later than 12/31/2004. Cases are sorted out and shipped out on first-in first-out basis. Therefore earliest cases are shipped out first.
My question is what will happen to Auto-remand cases? Do anybody have any idea? Will this will be handled by SWA or by backlog reduction centres
Thanks.

You can confirm this through the AVM.
Soory to ask so many q's at a time. but
how do u get info what cases are processed on what dates? And
How to know our case is RIR or non-RIR? Our lawyer doesn't reveal anything.please mention along with phone number and options.
And one more doubt? whats the diff between permanant application and RIR? When I call 4601 number it mentons seperately both the cases.
?Thanks in advance

The AVM says that the cases are received on March twentifourth 2003. Its surprising how you can listen this as 3/21. BTW, these case numbers match with flcdatacenter website's RD as 03/24/2003.

visa nos retrogess
Hi gp111,
We have learnt from murthy.com that the visa nos. will retrogess to January 2002 for EB3 category .
My labor was filed at SWA on 01/31/2002.
DOL receipt date is 01/31/2003
current status:Received 3 options letter from DOL, replied back with retest option but still awaiting the result for almost two months.
My assumption is that I will not be able to file for I-140 and I-485 because of the retrogession of visa nos.
Please correct me if I am wrong..
Thanks a lot gp111

The two DOL regional offices with the oldest backlogs are Dallas ( currently January 2003 ) and San Francisco (March 2003). And guess what ?! They assigned both SF and Dallas cases to the same BEC. Good Job !!! That is the real FIFO !http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/backlogcastrans.pdf

If I ware you, I keep my papers ready, Medical Done & forms filled.. Keep my fingures corssed about getting LC by X-mas & apply by Dec-31.
If you miss the deadline, you may have to wait couple of months more for PD to progress..(unless it goes backwards, I hope not)
good luck
gp111,
From your response ,what I understood is that if someone gets an LC approval this week and applies for I140 / 485 before Dec 31,2004 - the retrogression doesn't affect that person even if the PD is June 2002 or 2003 ( as long as they concurrently applied before by Dec 31 2004) ? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Visa Numbers
The least I would expect from you people is to understand plain english.
How would the cut-off date affect the GC process?
please refer to ---> http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi_bulletincurrent.html
EB3 Indian National PD is prior to Jan 1 2002 is eligible for final processing.
EB3 Indian National PD is after Jan 1 2002 is NOT eligible for final processing.
If someone has PD after the cut-off date and already filed for I-485 , then he/she wont get I-485 approved even though he/she got EAD/AP. They will have to wait for the cut-off date becomes current to get final approval.
I would consider those people to be really lucky who gets their GC approved before DEC 31 2004 because JAN 1 2005 the cut-off date becomes effective.
It doesnt matter if you file for I-485 prior to DEC 31 2004 your case will still be stuck until your PD falls on or after Cut-off Date.

To make this english more in laymans terms
PD is the date you apply for labor certification (State SWA reciept)
Cutt-off date is Visa Availabelity Date (Jan 1 2002)
eg:1. If your SWA Appln date is Before Jan 1 2002 and mean time you get your LC during fallowing months you wont get affected for filing 140 & 485.
2. If your SWA appln date is After Jan 1 2002 and you get your LC during fallowing months you will not allowed to file concurrently but allways you can file I-140.
3. Lets say some body has got LC allready and filed conncurrently but his PD date is Jan 2003. His I-485 will be adjudicated only when Visa is current for that date. What benifits this person gets is his spouse can work with EAD.
No change of Job untill I-140 approved and 180 days are lapsed for AC21 portabelity.
Hope this clear and let us wait for our Letters from BEC.
