Seattle DOL queue in BEC.
Here is the response I got from the BPC/BEC/BRC to the letter that I sent requesting a status.
Apparently, there are 2 queues in the BPC.
1. Non-RIR
2. RIR
And a processed in a FIFO basis based on the following criterion
Response received to 45-day letter.
PD (date app was received @ the State office) and not on RD (date app was received @ the Regional office)
The 45-day letters are issued when they enter the information into their database, apparently in the order that they were transferred to the BPC from the regional office.
I think this is bad news, because, our cases (ie; cases from the Seattle regional queue) have only been (or yet to be transferred) recently.
Not all people whose cases were transferred in oct-nov 2004 have received the 45-day letters.
The light at the end of the tunnel is yet to be seen!
