Update on DOL Backlog Reduction Centers

After a liaison meeting with DOL officials, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) announced the following updates on DOL Backlog Reduction Centers:

l. The Backlog Reduction Centers have not yet sent out any Center Receipt Notification Letters due to an issue with their software.But we can expect to see these letters in about two weeks or so. This explains why we have not seen any of these letters.

2. The DOL is now considering the move of the next set of cases to the Backlog Reduction Centers. BRC may move some cases from the processing centers in Atlanta and Chicago. They will be looking at the SWAs from which they will be pulling cases consistent with their first-in-first-out (FIFO) policy. DOL will be issuing written guidance to the states to advise them of the FIFO policy and taking the oldest cases and giving them instructions on what to do with the cases (shipping, etc.).

3. In the next week or so, DOL should be publishing a notice in the Federal Register with the addresses and contact info for all the offices.
