WA State DOL

My employer received a letter dated 1/28/04 saying that they were processing RIR cases received in March 2002. This is the step before it goes to the federal DOL for final review.

It looks to be a form letter, but it says "A preliminary assessment indicates that there are issues with this application that need to be addressed". It goes on to say that they are busy and want to know if they want to proceed with the labor cert or not.

Has anyone gotten a similar letter? I'm concerned that they are saying that there are issues that need to be addressed. Is this just something in a standard form letter, or is it something to be concerned about?

I'd be interested to hear other people's stories on this.
 
I havent seen any letter regarding my application. What was your priority date? Mine's in the first week of march. DOL website indicates they are processing March applications.
 
MS+3yrs exp ?

Hi fiveice,
Did u have MS+3yrs exp @ time of joining the company that applied for your GC?
Or are the 3yrs exp that u gained while u were working for the same company but before they applied for your GC or
was it the exp u gained at a different company, before joining the one that filed ur GC?

Thanks for the info.
Good luck with other stages.

Hi, blondhenge,

My case was sent to the regional office on April 03 and I did not receive any letter of the kind you described. The only letter I got was from the regional office confirming they got my case.
Check with your lawyer though. Might be something they have started doing recently.

Letter from State Labor

My attorney says to sit and wait to see what they may want. She said that there have been a lot of these going out lately, but that she has never seen one.

I guess I have to keep my fingers crossed.
 
Response to navdod.

Hi, navdod

I got my 3 years' exp and MS degree from another company and a university before I joined the company who filed GC for me.

Passed WA State

While, the form letter from the state a few weeks ago wasn't a problem. My attorney was informed that my case has been transferred to DOL. With all the promised backlog reductions and new RIR procedures, maybe I'll be done this year. What a wait, but I'm finally moving on this. What a relief!
 
Thats great news! My PD was March 1st week but I havent heard anything from labor. I guess its time to bother my attorney. What was your field and number of years experience, if you dont mind me asking. Thanks
