What a news! Congratulations! Finally they decided to move forward with the 3-option cases. Fantastic. Hopefully some of us in the same situation will receive our approvals soon.

Now that I have got labor approved I have a question

We are currently in process of filing 7th year H1 extension for me but since my labor is no longer pending how do we file H1 extension?

I do not want to wait for filing extension tiill I have 140 paperwork done. Any info?

you can get 7th year extension if your labor is filed > 365 days before end of 6th year.

Priority date with labor substitution URGENT

all,

Last month I applied for 140/485 in SF using labor substitution (with a labor approved in 2000) and was shocked to see FP notice yesterday since it has PD mentioned as Jan 05. I got a second jolt when I called attorney to know that the 485 receipt also has PD of Jam 05.

My attorney had told me (prior to applying) that I will get PD of original labor. I have my own labor pending with PD of Apr 02. I chose to substitute only for the reason to get the PD of 2000. Now I am in deep trouble.

Attorney says that the rule for PD on substitution is unclear and earlier he as seen people getting original labor date as PD for substitution. He feels that after retrogression California USCIS may have become cautious. He tells me that nothing can be done except to wait till PD of 2005 becomes current (another 3-4 years???). He feels that withdrawing the 485 application (and applying later with my labor) will cause more problems.

I am totally let down and feeling depressed. Same with my colleague who applied around same time and has exact same problem. We feel helpless.

Has anyone recently applied for 485 with substitution (in 2005)? If yes can you let me know the PD in receipt/FP notice?

Please take a moment to help me. I don’t know what my options are.

DOL Backlog Processing Center E-Mail Status Inquiry System

02/06/2005: DOL Backlog Processing Center E-Mail Status Inquiry System

Sources indicate that the Backlog Processing Centers have in place the e-mail inquiry system for those cases which have been issued 45-day letters. This inquiry will be available only after 90 days of responding to such 45-day letter. The BPC will respond to such e-mail inquiry in three days.
E-mail inquiry requires (1) the exact employer name; (2) First and Last Name of the Alien Beneficiary; and (3) BPC case number which is printed in the 45-day letters. Any inquiries without these entries or premature inquiries or any other inquiries which are not related to the 45-day letters are likely to be ignored. Readers, please do not send the e-mails unless you meet the foregoing requirements.
The e-mail address for Dallas Backlog Processing Center is: status@daldflc.us
 
Remanded Cases

Has anyone in this group received the 45 day letter for the remanded cases ?
My case was remanded to back to state (NON RIR) in June 2003. It was initially filed in RIR and was approved in state. It got remanded from Federal to State in Jun 2003 and I haven't heard anything after that :( .

I am sure there are many of you in this forum with a similar fate. If you have received any kind of information regarding these cases, please share it with the rest of us :)
