January 22TH and Your Offer

Only until the next Monday, January 22nd, do immigrants who began a traditional job offer case, to change their cases to the process known as “RIR” (Reduction in Recruitment). This procedure, demonstrates that there are no Americans workers who are available, qualified, and eager to perform the work that is available and that is being offered to an immigrant by the lack of a legal worker.

In order to speed up the processing of thousands of pending cases; the Department of Labor established “Backlog Elimination Centers”. But from their creation, these centers have denied thousand of cases for little things and have issued inconsistent decisions, like cases that were converted to “RIR” when all the required evidence was presented, but the Center had started recruitment independently by the State Employment Service offering the job. With this opportunity, the Department of Labor guarantees the applicant that they will consider all the evidence that is provided in your “RIR” case, without considering the procedures that started independently to recruit national workers, you will not lose your priority date, and will speed up your final determination or approval.

In order to qualify, the employer must not have received recruitment instructions to publish the offered occupation, nor the document known as “Notice of Findings” and the occupation must not appear in the “listing B” (List of Occupations for which the government considers that there are workers available). Converting to “RIR” is not automatic; you must ask the professional who is assisting you and must be made with the approval of the employer. If this conversion is not requested, the proceeding will continue its normal process. Don’t lose this chance!
Remember that there’s always much more to analyze before formulating a legal strategy.
