San Francisco Regional DOL Tracker

Somthing is better than nothing, I would definately agree that we will get good response if we convey our voice in lawful manner. :) Does anyone knows Rajiv ?

I am 100 % agree to you & similar message posted above. Lets make couple of people from us our voice (leaders), Try to contact Rajiv's office & ask for advice. If required we can come up with some money to pay for.
 
Hi GP111, othes,
Do any one of you know what is the logic behind 2 BECs?
Is it like one for RIR and the other for Non-RIR?
Otherwise still the date detween these two centers can vary - unless they ship the appications back and forth between them. It would have made sense to have a single office.
Thanks.

Two BEC is like Two National Service Centers... Half of the country will send cases to Phily & other half to Dallas. So both will have their own (should I say Half National) RIR & Non RIR queues.
 
GP111,
If you see the memo (atatchement 1) - the first bullet point says :
ETA will transfer .. from SF-FLC office to the two backlog centers....

So, I am thinking SFO is sending to both places...

That is true.. Good for us if they split the cases between two BEC.. Results will be even faster.

What I read in other thread is they have about 120 officers in each BEC & each office may approve up to 20 cases a day (Is there is no problem with case or no other info required).. sounds like it will be faster deal.

good luck to everyone !
 
gp111,

I also heard that Philly DOL (now BEC) will ramp up from the current staff of 10 to 120 !!

But did you mean each office or each officer will approve 20 cases/day?

I wonder if there will be a way to get the information about the status somehow - like AVM. And, I also hope there's one national queue instead of two half national queues.

20 case per officer per day
That is what I got from Philidelphia Thread ... The catch is out of those 20 there may be 14 cases with more info / time required.
 
gp111, from the PhiLL thread, they said the Phill cased will be processed first. But from the memo, cased from SF will be processed first because those cases have earlier RDs. What do you think?

As per Memo it will be National First In First out.
 
Any hope for Non Rir cases(Remanded) with a PD of 08/2001

Guys,
Any of these changes affect my case in CA?
PD - 08/2001
RD - 10/2002
Remanded to State 06/2003

Thanks

Hello gp111,

What do you think it going to happen for the Seattle Region (WA, ID, OR and AK) cases? The Regional DOL is Currently processing cases received between late March 04 and early April 04. My case RD is April 12 04
Thanks
 
jayjo7,

I hope I'm wrong, but cases like yours or close by DOL RD dates could actually be adversely affected by this. If SF-FLC transfers all non-open cases, and if a case like yours just happens miss that deadline, it will get transferred to BEC and will wait for the national RD to catch up to Apr 04 before it'll be processed.

That's my understanding after reading the memo. Others??

I think you are right. The new rule is a bad news for jayjo7. Sorry to say that.

These changes will make much difference to u. I think they will serve u more than anybody. Without these changes it would have taken more than a year to just move from Non RIR SFO SWA to DOL. Now, there is fair chance to get certification itself within one year. :D

I don't think Seattle Cases will be moved soon to BEC..Cause the will transfer the worst backlogged cases first & Seattle is not one of that. Seems to me is SF DOL (Seattle Staff) will continue to process those cases till end of this year & try to be current by then.
 
I read the article and I guess that your fears are genuine, we may end up in a bigger Queue and if NPC and BEC are not adequately staffed to handle the national level LCs, we may see even bigger delays. But as we stand right now,we don't have much to loose except cases like yours which were about to be processed and if they can't make the end -f year deadline, then...Keep your fingers crossed :)

I guess there is no point going for litigation, now that everything is National.Just hope they speeden up the processing atleast when they go National...

gp111,

Good point. But when they say 'SF-FLC' do they mean the DOL office (which handles cases from all states) or the California cases only?

need advise of filing RIR?

My husband is working on a small size software company in Bayarea. His company is advertising to file RIR EB2 for him. The adversitment data should be ready on December, 2004, which means the case could be filed before Jan1,2005. Since the memo of using the new processing system put the line at Jan1, 2004, should he consider postpone RIR filing after everything is clear( after 2 month stop filing period, it may be more clearer on where to file, or wait after PERM is out?) or file it asap? What is your opinon of best direction his case should be working on?

Another question, he has MS in Mechanic Eng + 1 years SW working expereince, but the company he is working is Software company. Will following job requirement work fine for him:

<Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related plus 1 year experience in UNIX or Linux kernel programming or related >
I saw some people posted related message saying that there might be an issue in later stage like I140 or 485, which has clearer definition of field, even EE degree can not be used in Computer related job?

Any input is highly appreciated!
