hi:

PD 2001..got labor certfied online on June28 2007

I have been waiting for the hard copy..so my Hr called Dol and asked whether they have mailed. The Dol officer sent the Cover letter by email (first page of whole approved package) to company HR showing the certification . She also told HR that cover letter was enough for I140 filing.

Is it true? Please let me know.

It is not true.

This is printed in the I-140 instructions(page 3):

General Evidence.
Labor certification. Petitions for certain classifications must be filed with a certification from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Copies.

If these instructions state that a copy of a document may be filed with this petition and you choose to send us the original, we may keep that original for our records. Copies may be submitted of all documentation with the exception of the Labor Certification which must be submitted in the original.

I am keeping fingers crossed.

The Cover letter shows the confirmation with employer name and SOC code and Dallas BEC # . It says that ETA750 is enclosed which of course is mailed to lawyer.

So you mean to say that I can file another I140 just with additional information when I receive the package or wait for RFE and then send the originals.
