08/08/2003: Virus Named "RIR Denial & Remand" Spreading in Regions

Ever since so-called Zigler Memo was released, it has been implemented different in different Regions of the DOL. The Region IV (Dallas-Denver Region) cut the tape taking a tough stance on IT cases with an action of either holding processing or remanding cases. The virus recently hit hard in Region VI (San Francisco-Seattle Region) massively remanding IT RIR cases to the state offices. The problem was serious enough affecting U.S. businesses and the DOL HQ reportedly has decided to review the situation. The situation was so serious in California that employers were in fear of filing RIR applications for a while.
AILA reported a good news. Pending the DOL HQ policy review, the Region VI ceased sending out remands to the state offices.
Sources indicate that Region V (Chicago-Kansas City Region) which was known to be liberal when it comes to remand issue has begun to sending out remands to the state offices for IT cases. Should this virus spread further, the IT occupations which were one time considered a shortage occupation may de facto turn into hybrid Schedule B occupations of oversupply!? The regional disparity and discrepancy may disappear once the PERM program starts late Fall, but it remains unanswered question as to how this issue will be taken over by the PERM Program administrator in the DOL HQ

URGENT: NEED HELP!!!!
Sorry for posting on wrong thread, want to get input of
experienced folks.......
My case was Labor case was Remanded back to employer
on Nov-18, 2003.

I called my attorney and here is his reply.

"The remand notice from DOL requested a recruiting synopsis with a list of all applicants and their reason for disqualification. Based on the advertisements comp-X has placed through newspaper and Internet postings"

Attorney says, it would not be feasible to list all of the
hundreds, if not thousands, of applications comp-x has
received and explain why they were ALL not
qualified for my position.
He says, he will wait for a month and request to reconsider.
I am not sure if that is a right approach.

I am really worried. Anybody who had this problem in past?
Any thoughts or Ideas?
please send your feedback/input ASAP.......
