DOL Backlog Reduction: Watch for Requests to Update Information

Cite as "Posted on AILA InfoNet at Doc. No. 04091765 (Sep. 17, 2004) ."


Labor certification applications pending at the Dallas and Philadelphia DOL regional offices are being transferred to the Backlog Reduction Centers in those cities. As part of the data entry process at the Centers, letters are being sent to employers and their representatives to advise them that the applications have been transferred from the regional office to the Backlog Reduction Center and to request updated information.

Employers are given 45 days to respond to these letters. According to DOL, an untimely and/or incomplete response will not be accepted and will result in the case being closed. AILA's DOL Liaison Committee is working with DOL to urge that a rule of reason be applied.
