Background: MS Finance Service Center: TSC -> NBC Status: Primary - F1(PERM), H1B(140/485) Spouse - H1B Occupation: Market Research Analyst -- JD: 08/30/2016 Date Opened 10/10/2016 Job Description Drafted 10/20/2016 Job Description Finalized Advertisement: 12/16/2016 1st Additional Recruitment Step Placed 01/06/2017 2nd Additional Recruitment Step Placed 01/08/2017 1st Sunday Nwwspaper Ad Placed 01/15/2017 2nd Sunday Newspaper Ad Placed 01/26/2017 3rd Additional Recruitment Step Placed 01/30/2017 1st Job Search Website 06/02/2017 1st Radio/TV ads Ad Cost Two Sundays Newspaper ($2,297.60) One Weekly Newspaper ( $490.00) Online Ad ( $150.00) One Radio Spot ( $390.00) Prevailing Wage: 10/27/2016 Prevailing Wage Determination Placed 02/06/2017 PWD Determination Issued, but with error (became Manager position which doubles the wage...) Lawyer's message: because DOL incorrectly categorized your position as a Marketing Manager, rather than as a Pricing Analyst. As I noted in the request for redetermination, the wording used in the job description exactly matches, in many instances, the wording in the Pricing Analyst DOL description, so I am hopeful that this was just a careless oversight on the part of the government. This happens quite a bit now, since they only have 2 analysts assigned to process Prevailing Wage Applications at the DOL. This is why the process has slowed dramatically, and it is also the reason for all of these mistakes. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do but put forward our best argument (which we have) and hope that they will come back with a correct wage coding. 02/07/2017 PWD redetermination was filed 04/19/2017 Job Orders (30 days with state agency) 05/08/2017 PWD redetermination modified 05/09/2017 Notice of Filing (10 days on company's bullertin board) 05/20/2017 Silence period (30 days) 06/21/2017 Total receive four resumes.
