Use this draft or some version of this...
Dear --------,
Thank you very much for working on PERM applications in full swing.
In a press release on 07/17/2007, the USCIS has announced that it would accept the applications for Adjustment of Status (I 485) only till August 17, 2007, after which a heavy retrogression for several years is anticipated.
This is a narrow window for thousands of legal, tax paying immigrants who are counting on you for their PERM approvals and hence holding on to their hope of filing their I 485 before August 17, 2007.
I hereby request you to kindly expedite the process and help us keep our hopes and aspirations alive.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Yours sincerely
Make calls/leave messages/fax/send flowers to following

somethng better than nothing. Congrats to those two guys.
|
ps57002,
How about to add 'ATL' and 'C' trackers to the letter and request them to compare the process times?
|
in the emails to newspapers or to DOL??? I wonder if emailing above links to renata esp at atlanta would backfire as in "see you are slow"...i would think it better if we send that link to email it to newspapers and to carlson...what do you think?
|
yes i know you meant tracker links..
If we email tracker links to renata adjibodou..i personally feel it could backfire.. 'see you aren't doing your job...you are slow"
we could email those tracker links to newspapers and to William Carlson
do you agree???
If you do, I suggest that in email to carlson add the link. In email to renata, leave out those links, in emails to newspapers, add the tracker links...
|
I agree with that and its a very disparity between ATL and CHI and ATL ppl r not doing their job!!
|
It is possible. I did not think in that direction. But all we are trying to explain them the injustice/impairity among the two centers.
|
i know...its just that even though people are wrong, they do not like to be told they are wrong and pointing fingers esp at accused can backfire...
that is why email tracker links to everyone else but that person... renata adjibodou is the one in charge of atlanta center, so just don't send the tracker links to her... with her you have to use a softer tone in a sense...
|
Any Approvals for today?? just one!!!
|
I totally agree with ps57002.
|
that is also after 130 + days wait.///
|
No wrong in sending that tracker information to that person toooo......
|
3rd (known) approval for 07/24.
|
I agree its 3rd approval for today , but i am not understanding y as only at ATLANTA some days are blank ... if we get consistently 3 or 4 on a day we ghave a slight chance ...but like 3 a day and 2 days no update .. is messing up the equivation... it will still make all of us short ...
let us keep urself active ... now let me include that carlson on the email i ususlaly send out everyday morning... lets give it a shot ...
|
I prepared two screen shots one each for ATL and CHI sorted by 'Approval/Denial' dates. and I circled the 'Response Time'. I am planning to send these to screen shots after the 'text' in my emails sending to all of them. I doubt these people click on the links and do some research like sort by date/respons time and compare both ATL/CHI.
I do not have access to personal emails now. I will send them from home.
Any thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
can post 'AILA' email id here, plz? I do not see 'AILA' email id in above list.
|
Great DUDE ...send us the same analysis ..we will put the same in our emails ....
|
alex berd(aberd@berdklauss.com) who is one of our forum members is from AILA too... he has written to us couple of times in the same forum ..write to him and he can take it to AILA ..also we can ask for his assistance to further elevate the same to more heights in AILA...
|
It looks like ATL did better than CHG last week ...
date ..... 16 ..... 17..... 18.....19..... 20.....21..... 22..... 23..... 24
ATL ........ 5........ 4.......3..... 2........5....... -....... -...... -........ 3
CHG........ 3........ -.......-..... -........-....... 1....... -...... 5........ 2
Am I missing anything ? :(
|
dubukku,
Good analysis. But I bet most people applied chicago even know about this forum at all? they dont need to know!!!!!!!! There comes the difference. See the average approval time bet CHI and ATL. That itself speaks.
|
dubukku, on the lighter side ... whatever be if its real good data or whatever , pls make sure these kind of reports dont get to anybody else ..ahhhhhhhh... there will be no use in shouting against atlanta ..if reports like the above come out ...ahhh..
|
also keep in mind that atlanta has 2x more members listed on it's tracker than chicago..so if you were to take a percentatge (i'm not good at statistics), i am not sure we fare better....
|
Here is the thing:
There are about 210 thousand+ labors approved from March 2005 to Till date.(http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/dolsta1207.pdf)
There are about 140 thousand+ Labors at back log centers. Which will be certified by this september.
So total 350 thosand labors approved individuals.
So each individual may have atleast one dependent(wife, child or both)
So 350 *2 which comes 700 thosand 485 applications will be filed in this current window.
Out of this it would be atleast half of the indians.
But each year we have only 140 thousand visa numbers available on a whole.
So for each country 140 thousand *7% which comes like 9 ,800 visa numbers, which are for each individual country.
Guess !! Based on this how many years we, Indian Techies, need to wait for our GCs???????? if at all the visa
numbers doesnt increase or doesnt allow to use unused visa numbers.
Not to DISCOURAGE any body. But just a calculation!!! and We need a permenent solution !!!!!!
|
We all need/have to support Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren in her efforts
of increasing Visa Numbers for Employment Based Category.
|
Guys,
Please try every effort thats in our hands to catch up this I-485 current window.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ............................................
|
This wait is killing me. Mine was filed on March 8. Have not even received a response to the email inquiry lawyer sent last Friday:( Don't know how Atlanta works. Is my file buried somewhere??
|
Even though the expectation is it takes long years to get GC, people who get EAD after few months from this current will be in safe side. As because EAD is as good as Green Card except that it needs to be renewed every year. So act now and help ourselves in every possible way.
|
Sent email to all news Papers. Emails to all concerned DOL members were sent.
Please dont miss this opportunity. Try try try. Dont loose hope.
|
just curious.. Do the Lawyers get an email confirming our approvals or Do they have to visit the DOL site to check the status.
|
my employer got the following reply............
Thank you for your e-mail to the National Processing Center concerning your case filed under the PERM program.
Case: ************* is still in process and official correspondence will be forthcoming.
Applications are processed in the order they are received. Once the Analyst reaches your case in their queue, based on the principles of FIFO (first in first out) it will be reviewed and official correspondence will be issued.
However, because each application is unique, processing times may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
The policy of the U.S. DOL/ETA National Office prohibits the expediting of applications.
We apologize for the delay.
If the case was mailed in, then the employer and representative must await correspondence from this office.
To check the status of your case filed online: go to the My Applications tab, then the Search Cases tab, you can enter your case number and see the current status. You can also search by a partial number. For more details, see Page 40 of the User Guide by clicking the Online Help link at the top of the PERM web page.
Atlanta Help Desk #11

I doubt if they are really reading the inquiry emails. Might just be an automated reply:( Although I asked my lawyer to send an email inquiry, looks like it may not help at all!
|
rakib123, when did your employer send the request out and when did they get the reply? Thanks.
|
People who apply in Chicago gets approval within 2/3 weeks but Atlanta center?????
Candidate who applied Chicago are getting opportunity to file I-485……….
Candidate who applied Atlanta are not getting opportunity to file I-485……..
Guy’s don’t you think its one kind of discrimination???
|
concerning issue is that , ATL is still processing only March applicaions ..and its been for more than a month infact starting 06/29... so not sure even if they will cross over that month and start the other months by this weekend ... looks like our efforts need to be speeded up ... this is just the time to see Apr / may to atleast say they can complete till June 30 applications by Aug 17th ... any thoughts..
|
my employer sent yesterday 5-45 pm and got reply 6-15 pm
|
Folks ,
now a days the reply from the ATL center is instant. you send out a email and you will get the reply that day itself..this is what i have observed obver the last couple of emails either from me or by my employer ... THEY HAVE SPEEDED UP THIS PROCESS ..but nothing on what they really need to do ...
|
may be they set up an auto reply :P
But a reply at 6.15 pm is a bit strange. Does it mean they work late?? That's good for us then :)
