VSC Rejects
Some I-140s in Error
Posted
Jan 13, 2006
The contractors serving the Vermont Service Center (VSC) erroneously
rejected about one hundred I-140 Petitions for Immigrant Workers. These
I-140 petitions were mistakenly rejected because they were accompanied by
PERM labor certification approvals that were on blue paper. The contractors
did not recognize the blue paper, so they improperly rejected the cases. The
change to blue paper was reported in our November 11, 2005 article,
PERM Approvals Get New
Look, available on MurthyDotCom.
VSC has issued instructions for resubmission of these cases. They should be
resubmitted with a brightly colored coversheet (no specific color) marked
with "Attention: CRU Supervisor" and "Case Improperly Rejected" in large
letters and sent to a separate P.O. box for this purpose. There must also be
a letter explaining why the case was erroneously rejected. This procedure is
only for cases that have already been rejected. Hopefully, this hitch will
not create significant delays or problems in these cases. There are always
situations, however, for which a few days or weeks make a big difference in
some aspect of a case.
