Topic: Whats wrong with ATL PERM Center
Folks,
By Gods grace, I got certified today. This was my 3rd Labor and I've been in this country since Jan 2001. I wish you all the very best and hope your case will get certified soon.
NOTE - My employer and attorney had sent a fax to Atlanta Perm center indicating it is more than 120 days on my case and requesting for status update. Pls do ask your employer to fax in company letter head.
All the Best.

It is unfair for the Atlanta Office to process June applicants while forgetting the May applicants.
Where is FIFO? Where is fairness? Where is our freedom?
We have to fight for our rights!

I sent emails again this morning and will keeping doing it until 17th, even though I agree that there is no big hope to shake Atlanta up. Employers are always the same. HR and lawyer both want us to get stuck long so that they can get bigger benefit out of it. Let's just hope that we can make our voice being heard by those rule makers and they would change the current crappy policies into better ones. (reply) (report this)

_________________________________________________________
Dear Dr. Carlson,
I write to you in hopes that you will not only hear, but understand, the CRITICAL nature of our concern regarding processing times at OFLC, DOL-Atlanta. We simply ask that you
1. Complete processing of pending PERM applications for applications with priority dates before Jun 30, 2007, based on 'Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2004 / Rules and Regulations' published at http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/pdf/PERM_Final_Rule_12-27-04_FR.pdf
2. WE STRONGLY URGE that, DOL request USCIS to allow acceptance of Adjustment of Status petitions from beneficiaries of FLC with PD on/ before June 30, 2007 EVEN AFTER their deadline of Aug 17, 2007, if, today, managers of OFLC, Atlanta foresee that they will not be able to grant such benefits to beneficiaries of FLC applications with PD on/before June 30, 2007
We request Dr. William Carlson to consider our plea and propose the following:
1. As per your guidelines and more importantly "Regulation", "Any and all applications WILL automatically receive a computer generated "Certification" within 45-60 days, unless selected for audit".
2. Due to recent changes in USCIS policies, which evidently is the next step for ALL FLC beneficiaries, it has become very vital that DOL follows laws and regulations laid out in the Federal Register more strictly than ever.
3. As OFLC, DOL-Atlanta has been busy doing other work, thousands of permanent FLC beneficiaries will not be able to file Adjustment of Status applications timely and will be victims of "high retrogression".
4. Moreover, as a PERM center is chosen just as a matter of where the petitioner operates, beneficiaries from other than DOL- Atlanta PERM center (Chicago) have been able to take advantage of this positive change in USCIS policies, which is ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR.
5. Therefore, we appeal to the lawmakers that this parity not be accepted and I on behalf of all beneficiaries of FLC applications at DOL-Atlanta propose the following:
i) As per the law, OFLC, DOL - Atlanta WILL make their best efforts to approve ALL FLC applications with PD on/before June 30, 2007 by Aug 17, so that more legal and tax-paying workers of this country who seek immigration benefits may do so.
ii) Given the fact that, had OFLC, DOL-Atlanta worked on their normal pace and followed the Federal Regulations, there would have been a great possibility that all correctly filed FLC applications with PD before June 30, 2007 WOULD HAVE BEEN approved by Aug 17, 2007, enabling their beneficiaries to proceed and file necessary petitions with the USCIS.
I hope you understand that it is critical and that while for Atlanta center it may just be a few extra hours of work, it means YEARS of living in uncertainty for those who will not be able to benefit from this opportunity presented by USCIS.
We urge Dr. William Carlson, that you keep what you promised, and complete processing of ALL pending FLC applications with priority date on/before June 30, 2007.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Sincerely,
PERM Applicant
OFLC, DOL-Atlanta

Hey ! I remember somebody on this forum posted earlier that their H1 Visa would be expiring in Sep'07. I think you might already know this information but just in-case you haven't come across this I am posting this information. The source for this material is the "Uncofirmed October Visa Bulletin Prediction" in the 08/02 "Breaking News" section from http://www.immigration-law.com.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the Visa Bulletin indicates that visas numbers are unavailable for an employment based category and country, H-1B applicants who have reached the six year limit in H-1B status may obtain three-year extensions under AC 21. This means if the Visa Bulletin reflects "U", the per-country limit has been reached.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
and BTW....what the hell...we still got time...Good luck to all of us :)
|
Today no Chicago cases have been approved... they could have shared the cases
|
This is the response that I got from Murthy's regarding delays from Atlanta centre and a possiblility of allowing us to file 140 & 485 even after 17th Aug.
================================================================================
Thank you for your eMail. Other people have brought this issue to our attention. We have made contact with the Department of Labor about this problem. Additionally, there are also people who have labor certifications in the Backlog Centers that were filed all before 2005 that are still waiting.
We do sympathize with this issue and we have made some efforts in this regard.
================================================================================
WOW !!!! .It seems that DOL has started to justify their delays for Our cases by comparing it with their own previous delays .
What a Benchmark !!!
