Backlog Cases Inadvertently Withdrawn as Re-Files
It has come to the attention of the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) that due to a technical issue, a number of cases were inadvertently identified as pending PERM re-file applications and were withdrawn from the backlog. OFLC is working to rectify this situation immediately by identifying the affected cases, and reinstating them back to the appropriate processing status in proper order. This effort will be completed by November 30, 2006.
Although affected employers and their attorneys will NOT be receiving an additional notice of reinstatement, they may verify their case has been reinstated using the Public Disclosure System (PDS) starting December 1st. Since verification will be available online, employers and attorneys are requested not to contact the Backlog Elimination Centers regarding status.
The DOL confirmed that the BECs mistakenly were returning one original ETA 750 set to the employer/attorney with the inadvertent withdrawal notice. However, since the BECs have a second original ETA 750 for these cases, they will continue to be processed. The employer/attorney need not take any action at this time. In the unlikely even that the BEC requires the first original ETA 750, the employer/attorney will be notified
