But when are we going to do it. To make an impact we need atleast 500. No one will even notice if we are only 50-100.....
|
If we are ready we can do this this friday or Monday.
I think 100 number are good to start.
Any comments.....

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to draw your attention towards disparity of processing between Atlanta and Chicago in processing PERM application. My facts are based on data collected from a website where potential immigrant volunteers to provide information to track their status during the various stages of immigration process. This is not an official data and might have some margin of error but still it shows great deal of differentiation in working of both of these centers.
Please click on this link and navigate to Atlanta Perm Tracker and Chicago Perm Tracker and you can see the difference in processing time yourself:
http://www.trackitt.com/usa-immigration-trackers/
With the Visa bulletin becoming current again, this disparity is hurting millions of us living on the East Cost. Applicants living on the West cost are getting approved in 3-4 days and getting a chance to move ahead in the immigration process, while we at the East cost still waiting for months for our PERM getting approved. Huge difference in approval timing between these two centers is creating an environment of unequal opportunities, which founding father of this nation never tolerated.
I, therefore urge you to please look into this matter and seek truth behind this disparity. Why Atlanta is processing application at a slower rate? Is there a possibility that Atlanta can share work with Chicago so that a uniform turnaround time would be maintained over whole nation? These are some of the questions we have in our mind and we are desperately searching for answers.
We hope that you will fight for our cause with the same zeal and enthusiasm as you showed during July visa bulletin fiasco. We need your help and we trust you…..
Thanks

Hi,
I do not mean to discourage you, when we asked for the flower campaign, hardly 15 or 16 people joined and only 5/6 updated if the flowers were delivered or not. As I've been repeatedly telling, we need to hv a coordinated effort. We might not succeed in persuading people to fly to Atlanta unless otherwise we can get hold of 50 to 100 who are in a driving distance and are really committed.
If I disappointed anyone, I did'nt intend to..I was just being frank with reality...
Atleast for now, the best we could do is phone/fax campaign....

It seems like about 700 thousand(more than 4 times the visa nubers issued every year which are 140 thousand) applications are being filed for 485 in this current window. In addition to this all backlog applications will be cleared by september 2007 and there are about 20 thousand back log cases there. So God only knows when will we get our GC!!!!!!!!

I Just sent a mail to all the above emails.
FYI:
Thanksnews-tips@nytimes.com
Above email id is failing delivery. So you may not want to use that.
|
It also depends on geographical area where you belong to. Every country has assigned quota for GC. i guess out of 700 thousand applications around 80-85% will be from Indians. I think you guys have more chance to stuck in GC processing.
|
It is depressing to see people in Chicago cruising at PERM speed on one hand and on the other hand the Atlanta center compromising the interests of thousands of aspirants. This is not fair!!
|
whay are we not seeing any updates to the list? has Atlanta stopped with end of March once for all? or we dont get our friends to update the list ...(getting busy filing & preoaring for next steps )... pls post any approvals ... or if any has got any updates from lawyers / employers / otnersites on latest approvals pls post..
|
They haven't finished the March batch yet. Mine was filed in March, and still waiting:(
|
Why can't Atlanta take a leaf out of the USCIS's book and process 60,000 applications in one weekend ? USCIS guys must coach them on speeding up things :-)).

Friends,
Some good news update from immigration-law.com. looks like AILA is going to urge ATLANTA to compelte all applicationsd in couple of weeks ..GREAT NEWS ....
Check the news cut out from there and posted here :
As affected by the surge of H-2B applications, we understand that Atlanta National Processing Center has been experiencing some delays in the processing of PERM applications and we strongly urge the Atlanta Center leaders to consider the current exigent circumstances and to accelerate the July 2007 cases adjudication within the next two weeks.
|
Where did u see this news?
|
www.immigration-law.com
Read the entire aticle as below :
07/24/2007: USCIS Generous Interpretation of Priority Date Based July 2007 EB-485 Filing Eligibility and Our Urge for OFLC's Certification of PERM Applications Before 08/17/2007
The USCIS FAQ indicates that those who filed a PERM application in July 2007 establishing his/her priority date and and will receive cerification of these PERM applications will be eligible to file a concurrent I-140/EB-485 application on or before August 17, 2007. The current DOS and USCIS actions following the July 2007 VB fiasco is giving a life-time opportunity for these filers to file EB-485 applications such that during the forthcoming long backlogs in adjudication of their applications, they could at least work and travel internationally using EAD and Advance Parole, and when they should be laid off, they could still complete the green card process inasmuch as they would find a similar job after 180 days of filing of the EB-485 applications. We thus urge the leaders of the Office of Foreign Labor Certification, particularly Dr. William Carlson, Chief of the National Program of U.S. Department of Labor, to acclerate the July PERM applications such that they are certified at least within the first two weeks of August 2007. We also urge the AILA to work with the OFLC to seek such cooperation from the agency. As affected by the surge of H-2B applications, we understand that Atlanta National Processing Center has been experiencing some delays in the processing of PERM applications and we strongly urge the Atlanta Center leaders to consider the current exigent circumstances and to accelerate the July 2007 cases adjudication within the next two weeks. Those who should desperately seek such help will include:
Those who have already filed and are waiting for the certification at this time.
Those who will file the PERM application on or before July 31, 2007 in the next one week. Those employers who will complete the required recruitment process by July 31, 2007 should make it sure that the PERM applications be filed online "on or before" July 31, 2007 so that once the PERM application is certified in the first two weeks of August, they submit the concurrent I-140 and EB-485 applications "swfitly" not missing the deadline of August 17, 2007. These aliens may also want to prepare for such potential opportunity and start collection of required supporting documentation in preparation for the situation. This will be particularly true for EB-3 filers as they are the ones who will suffer the most from the upcoming severe visa retrogression in coming years.
We thank in advance for Dr. Carlson's special attention to this request on behalf of the U.S. employers and the foreign workers.
|
Thank GOD atleast a positive step for speeding up the process
|
finally one approval today from ATL
|
Folks ,
Looks like all our efforts can come good ...lets us make more such meaningful emails and draft the same to AILA members and William Carlson, Chief of the National Program of U.S. Department of Labor ... to make a point from our end ...
Looks like this will work ... lets make a email draft and put all our thoughts / comparisions / issues / causes on it and share it within the forum ... can somebody come up with some comphrehensive draft ..we can use the one we had earlier tooo with little more comparisons & issues .... any thoughts ...
|
pcsankar73,
I checked that. looks like a good news for us. We can see PERM approvals on pERM Chicago tracking even for today.
There is no latest approvals on ATL PERM Tracker. For me, that means, no approvals. I do not think approved guys forgot to update the tracker, instead, I feel, we do not have any approvals from ATL. I feel bad about it. Sorry friends.
|
there is one approval from ATL today. check the tracker
|
Sounds great. But it is from early march.
Lets shoot emails to 'William Carlson'. Looks like he is a big guy as per immigration-law.com. thought?
|
and send ATL and 'C' 'traker' links to him.
|
Folks ,
Pls read the GOOD NEWS ;
www.immigration-law.com
07/24/2007: USCIS Generous Interpretation of Priority Date Based July 2007 EB-485 Filing Eligibility and Our Urge for OFLC's Certification of PERM Applications Before 08/17/2007
Pass this on... lets us now support AILA in pushing ATLANTA more .... in what ways we can show this ? any thoughst !!!
Its after a long horrible time somebody has started to realize our pains and made an effort to bring ATLANTA to the table ... now lts not keep quite ..lets us do what we can from our end to make this come trye ....
|
should be directed to William L. Carlson, Chief, Division of
Foreign Labor Certification, Employment and Training Administration,
U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room C-4318,
Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693-3010 (this is not a toll-free number).
|
Great News. Thanks for the link.
|
good news.... What will we do next?????????
|
permatl ,
can you pls update your case details in the forum... Thanks... It will help us track on whats going on..
|
let's continue emails....carlson and renata
i sent flowers today...sgined by sec morriss
also sent email case inquiry
|
Great... Please do email, fax, flowers again....
|
My lawyer said that she sent an email inquiry last Friday, and hasn't received a repsonse yet. How long does it usually take for Atlanta to respond to attorney emails?
|
This is indeed a good news.
But, if I look at it more closely, it does not say if immigration-law already contacted DOL / Dr.William Carlson or if they are working with AILA on this. Just posting concern on a website is not going to help nor will reach DOL. We got to try and spread this message with phone / fax campaign.
|
I forward the news to the following:
news-tips@nytimes.com, bizday@nytimes.com, foreign@nytimes.com, metro@nytimes.com, national@nytimes.com, washington@nytimes.com, executive-editor@nytimes.com, managing-editor@nytimes.com, nytnews@nytimes.com, oped@nytimes.com, editorial@nytimes.com, letters@washpost.com, national@washpost.com, foreign@washpost.com, letters@nypost.com
Please do the same jobs....
|
Exactly Cherry. I read the same way too... but the fact that somebody is standing by us and reputed will give us enough leverage to do what we need ...also when they post these kind of stuff on what they intend to do , hopefully the message would have reached the proper hears ... yet we need to do what we can to support and keep the flame glowing ...
to make soemthing from our end :
Any comphrehensive email with all issues / causes / comparisons . That way we can shre the same message from multiple ddirections and shoot out to AILA (seeking more help) and to DOL asking to speed up...
our enthusiasm on this is very vital to convey our message .... .
|
i emailed Oh-law to ask if he actually got in touch with carlson etc....don't know if will get a response
got to keep trying....
i'll go send more emails...
|
Hi guys,
Lets send emails to carlson. And keep sending mails to the News Editors. Hopeful if our efforts come true, our situtation gets some news coverage and some attention. One email will not do. Lets send many emails.
|
we need to push and make it happen guys,
be in continue efforts and one day we will get success hopefully before aug 17th
