Alien Labor Certification... pending ?

The certification has been sent by my employer 1.5 year ago (a case numer has been given) and i would probably have to wait one more year to start the whole process. The last bill concerning the extension of H1b visa to a 'seventh year' talk about a a Labor certification pending. Does that mean that as soon as you have a case number this certification is considered pending or do we have to wait for the actuall process (advertising etc...) to consider it pending?

Thanks

Wow! I am about to start this process. Too bad to hear it takes this long. Did you advertise already? How is the process? Thanks
