I see that people who applied in September got approvals more than 33% in **** **** and mine is July 15th , 2009 and nothing yet, more than 75% got approvals and after that it seems they have stopped looking at July applications and they moved on to August , September and October...

Few Doubts...

My labor application was filed in Dec 2007 and it got denied in April 2008. We had no idea why it was denied since we did not receive any audit notification at all. Accordingly we informed USDOL that we haven't received the audit notification. After a few days, the labor application status changed from "Denied" to "In Process". It has been "In Process" ever since that time.

I was checking the PERM processing times and was hoping to see some news when they were processing Dec 2007 for last couple of months. But now the processing month has been moved to Jan 2008 and my status still shows as "In Process". My lawyer also finds it very strange and suggests to file another labor application to be on safe side.

What do you think I should do? Any idea what might be happening with my labor application?

Baffled

Well. I know I am so far down the line. Mine was just filed in February. Yet a couple of weeks ago I got a newsletter from my paralegal saying that their office have started receiving approved cases much quicker and in no particular order. She called me on my cell today saying that they she is surprised herself. All of a sudden, she got an approval for a case filed less than two months ago and another case filed in October 2009. Are the rest of them still pending or what, being audited? I should have asked that myself.

Now I do't believe in miracles. In the same newsletter I think I found a clue while the PERM processig has sped up a little. They sad the new law requires a aproval of PWD (prevailing wage) from the central office in DC as opposed to a much easier online thing before. They said they have not received a single PWD since the law came into effect on January 1, 2010. They also added that other lawyers have been reporting the same thing.

Apparently, there' s a backlog now builiding up at the PWD stage. This has freed up a little time for those who have been "lucky" to file their PERMs prior to the new "catch".

PERM (EB2) Applied on : 07/24/2009
Audit Received: 03/10/2010
No specific reason

I have observed three groups of applications that go under audit: (1) due to wrong information in the application form (2) due to the company which has made the application on behalf of the foreign worker (for example almost all applications made by Fragomen were subject to 100% audit until mid/end 2008 due to a supposedly fraudulent application made by the subject company. there was a law suit between them and DOL which I believe has ended by mutual agreement between the two parties) (3) due to random sampling

Perm in the process

My labor was filed on June 29th 2009 under EB-2

I did not get any reply / response from the Atlanta service center.

How much time does it take to clear the labor these days?
