I filed LC app in 2004 with a priority date of Mar 04 and received 45-Letter May 06, so it took more than 2 years for get the 45-letter. Don't know how long it will take to get the LC approval/

My company just received the 45 letter, mi case was send Dec /04, I hope I get the approval this year 2006.

Waiting more the 2 years....

I Applied for Labor certification @ chicago regional centre in Nov 2004. Then received the 45 day letter and responded back. Labor petition sent to Dallas back log centre in Feb 05. Approval notice received on 4/14/06.
I heard that now they are trying to speed up the process and I sincerely hope that is true!

Hi Everyone:

Just to share my experience / problem:

I got my Labor approved in SEP 05 for and Accountant with Systems Skill Set and for the next stage the I-140, my lawyer rightfully adviced that on my current salary is much lower that was required at the time as prevailing wage. Now, my sponsoring company's Tax returns also show inadequate Funds for those years to support my application (salary).

Has anyone survived this situation and if so how?

Pls write to me - much obliged.

Sai ram,

Sunil

Ps - if anyone can help take over my approved labor Cert., with me, that would help.

My company send the Labor Certification Dec 2005 using Rapid recruitment. Until now we don't know anything, we haven't received the "45 letter"

This country don't make easy for the people who want's to do the rigth way... That's one of the reason for over 12.000.000 with not legal status...

I received my 45days on july 2005 till I today I did not recived my LC . If any one has the same problem .

My LC application was sent to DOL in October 2002 through company lawyer from New York. The wait has been endless and frustrating from then. Nothing was heard until the lawyer informed my manager that the 45-day letter was received (and then replied) in November 2005. It's nearly 1/2 year now, and nothing is heard ever again. Does anyone has similar experience--3+ year wait for LC? Thanks.

Hi One of the reputed Company filed my H1B on 23rd June. After 3 months i.e. 2nd Sept I received an RFE (additional request for evidence). My new company took 1 month to reply the RFE. they replied on 19th Oct 2005. The USCIS website is updated stating that they have received a reply on 19th Oct 2005.

Today it's almost 4 months are over but the status is same. I am not getting any reply. Why is it taking so much time to reply on RFE when the initial processing is already competed at USCIS ?

Hello,
 Most of us here waiting for our Labor Certificate that takes forever. I filed my LC March 2003 until now I haven't heard anything yet. My lawyer says there's a backlog going on in the DOL and whole processing has been delayed. My main concern here is...currently I don't have 245(i), I came to this country legally and have current I-485 denied. When this LC approved, do I need to apply 245(i) before applying I-140 or 245(i) doesn't necessary because I have I-485 already?
  Case #2: I came to this country as fiance k2 dependent and my mom got married within the 90 days. I came here when I was 20 years old and turning 21 6 mos after. Everything was filed before I was 21 years old. To make this story short I was denied because I'm already out of status. In Aug. 6, 2002, "CHILD STATUS PROTECTION ACT" has been approved and basically it will prevent child who are "aging out". I'm married now, but during the New Law was approved I was single back then. What would be my chances for this new law??? Can I re-open this case and gauranteed to get my green card? Am I considered for deportation when they found out my status? This is where Im afraid of writing them about this case. I been talking to different immigration lawyer and their response is unsure and yet still paid them large amount of money (sucker). I don't know who am I going to to talk to or where I'm going to get help. Thanks in advance for your help.
