My understanding was all cases from SF regional office received after May 05 ' 03 are transferred to BEC. Looks like it is cases from July 03 from below. Can somebody trow more light on this.

From the Region VI (San Francisco, CA)

The DOL Regional Director indicated that all 20,000 cases transferred from Region VI (San Francisco, CA) to the BECs were the cases with the oldest Regional Office (RO) receipt dates. There are still 8,000 to 10,000 cases with the RO. The Regional Director speculated that it is possible Atlanta, GA and Chicago, IL will also work on the backlog reduction if PERM is not implemented. RIR and regular cases received from the California SWA after September 2004 will not be entered into the RO database or processed in any way. The RO is awaiting instructions on how to deal with these cases. This means that a person who needs a receipt notice for an H1B one-year incremental extension will not be able to receive that receipt until the file has been sent to a BEC, an NPC, or has been cleared to be processed at the RO.

For RIR cases, the RO is continuing to work on California cases with RO receipt dates of December 2002 to March 2003. The remaining cases with RO receipt dates from July 2003 through September 2004 were transferred out of the RO. Non-waiver California cases with RO receipt dates of October 2003 or later will be transferred. The RO will continue to process California cases received January 2003 through September 2003. The RO is retaining enough work for the next six months. The Regional Director speculated that it is still possible for the DOL to have six major processing centers: Dallas, TX; Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; and San Francisco, CA. There has been no final word on such a plan, however.

Region VI has lost all temporary employees. This means that the analysts are also performing clerical work as part of their job duties.
