Topic: Whats wrong with ATL PERM Center
Can you please tell me where did you get this information.
|
Hi all. I Just called immigrationvoice.com number i have explained them the problem that ATLANTA processing center is taking long time . They told if we have large number of people effecting by this then they will look into this matter. Please mail them at info@immigrationvoice.org
|
it looks like with Sep 1 st all the priorities will go back drastically. assuming that Atlanta is still on processing cases in FEB (Just started with PERM cases as we all read from sources) and it would take miminum 2 months to get to March dates , then all filed during march onwards will be in soup... I asked my lawyer to call them and speak to Atlanta and see what can be done ..as he asked me not to contact directly ... also i have a question , is there a chance to file another application in chicago center with the current processing in Atlanta ... i would like to know whether this is a possibility... anybody pls reply ...
|
I dont think we can file form chicago
|
Did Atlanta start processing Feb 2007 cases?? Do we have any website to check this..
|
Hello,
My EB2 PERM application is pending in Chicago Center since 24 Apr 2007, almost for 55 days. I have heard Chicago is fast, but mine is still pending. I have a MS from USA & 3 yrs IT exp. My employer is a large IT consulting co based in NYC, and my work state is NH.
If u go to the CHicago Trackitt forum, every single case was certified within 30 days or so except for 5 cases (inclding mine)
I am going to ask the lawyer for a receipt number, but I dont know if American lawyers will give their login & passwd for the PERM system.
Everyone believes the priority dates will remain current till end of September 2007 (like in 2005), cos thats the end of the fiscal year.
|
It is NYC it will go to ATLANTA not CHicago
|
how about florida? n trend of clearing backlog in atlanta?
|
cnstudd,
If its NY I believe it should go to Atlanta. You might want to check with your lawyer. Maybe its at the wrong center hence the delay in your case decision.
|
Hello 'dream' ,
(1) How does one determine whether the PERM gets processed in Chicago or Atlanta?
(2) Does it depend on the Employer state or Employee State especially in case of consultants
Thanks.

I got the login information from my employer. I dont know where to check the status. Can you pls tell me how to check the status. Because there are so many links and in very first page i am getting the following information, I dont see any status called in-progress
No applications for Permanent Employment Certification were prepared today.
|
Konda,
In the same page that say no application was prepared there should be a text box that you can type the case number and search.
|
Mine says "In Process" from day 1... Anybody knows what are the status levels involved in the PERM process from the point of application submission till "Certified"
|
I am also interested to know the status levels.
|
Any mail from ATLANTA processing center. I sent mail last week i haven't received any thing from them
|
A=Atlanta
C=Chicago
T=Incomplete, yet to be submitted
|
My labor was filed on Feb 5th. Per my attroney, it is in process. He has filed for an inquiry but has not heard anything yet. This is frustrating. I guess we need to keep calling them and send an email until they act on it..
|
Hello everybody.
I'm another desperate soul waiting for PERM approval from Atlanta center. I'm already 153 days waiting and I;m going crazy. I need to understand, and sorry for my ignorance, what is going to happen in July that everybody is talking about. Is there a deadline for something?
I thank you in advance for your explanations.
Regards to all and good luck
|
I must agree that the Atlanta's situation before Chicago is ridiculous. I saw quite a few of less than a week approvals of any type of case such as EB3, EB2 MS, EB2 BS+5.
Something should be done to expedite Atlanta's processing times.
|
I called the Atlanta PERM center 404-893-0101. Left a voice mail with the case number. Hope something works out soon
|
There is no point whining and griping here on the forums unless we act and do something about it. We need to contact PERM Center and also have our attorney contact DOL to enquire and request them to expedite the processing. DOL or PERM personnel do not come and read these forums to understand our pain. We need to reach out to them and express our frustration due to delays. Also, we need to have our attorney's contact AILA and have AILA take up this issue with DOL. People please contact your attorneys and have them puruse our issue through AILA. We need to seek help for ourselves. No one is going to come and offer us any help. Its all in our hands. So please do all that you can within your means. Please, Please, Please start contacting PERM Center, DOL, Attorney and employers to plead our case. We have very limited time...
|
Sent an email explaining the situation. I will post once I hear any response.
|
I Just called the ATLANTA precessing center and left a message. This is my 4th message nothing is working, I asked my attorney to call he told they can't do any thing.
|
Guys, I will send out emails/faxes/letters to Atlanta Center and Secretary of DOL. I will also try to contact my senators to see if they can do anything about it. We got to act soon. Let's do it together!
|
Please send out your phone number we can do kind of conference call and we will try to do some thing, If we post messages like this nothing is working out.
|
As you may see in my profile I am from the time of the old RIR labor that got stuck for 3 years despite all the letters, faxes and emails. Nevertheless, I think the major point to make out to them is about equal treatment and opportunity. If I lived in a state covered by Chicago center I'd probably have my labor approved by now. As far as I know annual quota for green cards are given on a first come first serve basis consequently I'll be penalized if Immigration runs out of GC's over Chicago's approvals just because I don't live and/or work in one of Chicago's jurisdictions. My suggestion to them is to establish just a single queue for all applicants regardless of their residence state.
|
bloodygc,you are right. It should not depend on the geographic location and everyone should have equal priority. I applied my labor in Feb 2007, and a friend of mine applied from Chicago in April and he got the approval. He is eligible for utlising July oppurtunity where as I am not....
|
Is there any movement in processing in Atlanta center for today . are we seeing any approvals from the list ... I am wondering on what order the cases are considered .. few getting approved at later dates and few from before dates....
i have a feeling that a case when gets assigned to a person and if the person is moved to do other job , then the case is not deligated and stands under his name until he has to re-open the same ... i belive this is the only logical reason , i can see for many of us not getting approved whereas other cases above and below randomly getting moved...
i dont know this is a right system to make sure FIFO for priorities... I am getting frustrated ... anybody know more on how they get processed .. welcome to comment...
|
Call them, email them and have your lawyer call them, email them and fax them. Don't sit there and whine, no use. Action.
|
Hi All,
My case was filed on March. Me too frustrated badly. I did call their number and left a msg requesting to speedup the process also I've emailed them on the same. My employer as well as my lawyer will not give me the login id and password to check the status. Is there any way I can track the status of my PERM application.
Thanks
|
My employer inquired yesterday about my PERM case, and heard back today from the Atlanta Center which indicated that my petition is still being processed. There is a common belief in the forum that there is a relationship between an inquiry about a case and a closely following approval. I will let you know if this is true for me.
Also, I called a couple of times and sent emails to 'Perm.DFLC@dol.gov' as well. I did not mention my case#, and did not expect and reply.
|
Not what I know of. You might want to ask your employer to inquire about the case. Atlanta Center is pretty good in responding to inquiries, next BD. Also, your employer and attorney will receive and email notifying them about the approval. I do not see a necessity for us checking to see if our case was approved.
|
By what means did your employer contact Atlanta center, email, call or fax?
How did they reply back to your employer, by email, call back or fax?
Did you have a particular person to contact with? Can you share it?
When was your PERM filed? thanks
My lawyer emailed to PERM.DFLC@dol.gov last Friday and have not heard anything back yet.
|
I faxed, called, my lawyer emailed.
My case was pending over 7 months.
No response at all from Atlanta Center, Damn it!!
What else can I do?
|
toosensitive,
Sorry to hear about your 7 month wait. You should add your entry to the Atlanta PERM tracker.
-trackitt
|
I do not have that information available, and I can contact my attorney through my employer only. But, I am pretty sure that we contacted Atlanta Center by email.
|
never believed in luck as much I do now.....my friends application submitted a month after me in chicago is certified!!!
|
I too called them and left a voice message and asked my attorney to contact them..I will let you know once something happens with my case..
|
I sent them an email.
With PERM still pending, are you guy preparing a medical exam for July filling?
|
So guys I called Elaine Chao and some other person, I got a call back from Melaney Baker who asked me to call 202-693-3010 and apparently I did that all day yesterday and I was told the woman I have to speak to is on vacation for a week. I called back today and they have an automated message over there. Also for Elaine Chao I was asked to send a fax.
|
good job. I did also call Elaine Chao and fax them. No response yet. But I will follow you to call 202-693-3010. It is so unfair to treat us so differently with chicago center.
|
I just call them by 202-693-3010. One lady picked up the phone. Then I told the situation in Atlanta. She seems not quite familiar with the perm application and gave me the excuse that different locations could be different time frames. I responed that there are only two centers and we pay the same money but with so different treatment. Then she friendly connect the phone to somebody's voice machine. I left the message.
|
Who did you fax to ? Ela chao?
|
I called 202-693-3010 and was told the same thing - The person in charge of PERM is on vocation this week and will be here next Monday. I will call next Monday. Anything else we can do now?
call senators?
|
ok so FAX THE SECRETAY OF STATE: ELAINE CHAO
FAX #: 202 693 6111
I just called and got it. The said after you fax wait for a week for any reply and then if you do not get anything call back and you might be allowed to talk to her.
|
Guys,
I just left a message for a lady at 202-693-3010, told her that I was a part of a large forum and that we all are extremely concerned about the pace of the Atlanta center. I asked her to call me back to let me know if she has any timelines or updates on how these cases are being processed. I would reccomend EVERYONE to call this number and ask for someone whom you can talk to about the Atlanta Perm center & leave voice mails with your case #. Also please mention that you are a part of a large forum where hunderes and thousands of us are concerned with the pace of the Atlanta Center.
If I or anyone else hears back, please post ASAP.
Thanks

Great. I am very impressed with the members for contacting Elaine Cho's office. I did the same too and will fax a letter explaining the situation and requesting them to process PERM applications at the Atlanta Center very soon. I request everyone to please contact the PERM contact person when he/she returns on Monday. If anyone can get that person's name, phone number & fax number it will be great. We can then call that person directly and plead our case. Please everyone contact the 202 number and leave a message of the feedback you received on this thread. Don't wait for someone else to do it for you. if you don't act now, we all would be losers and miss the PD's..so don't be shy..PLease call and fax today and also next week.
|
I faxed a letter explaining the situation and requesting them look into the PERM backlog at the Atlanta Center.
