I found this from internet. It says that all the labor certification will exprie after 180 days. I am wondering if this is real. Since mine is approvied on Dec. 18, 2006, dose it mean that my labor certification is already expried? What shall I do?
Thank you very much.
Labor Certification Expiration After 180 Days
All I-140s based on approved labor certifications must be filed within 180 days of the labor certification approval. All currently approved labor certification applications must have an I-140 petition filed by January 11, 2008, or they will expire.
The new rule provides a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. All permanent labor certifications approved on or after the effective date of July 16, 2007, will expire 180 calendar days after certification, whether the original application was filed under the PERM or pre-PERM regulations, unless the employer uses the approved labor certification prior to expiration in support of an I-140 petition with USCIS. Likewise, all labor certifications approved prior to July 16, 2007 will expire in 180 calendar days, unless filed in support of an I-140 petition with USCIS prior to the expiration date. Therefore, all currently approved labor certification applications must be filed in support of an I-140 petition by January 11, 2008.
