What if the employer has begun recruitment to convert the application to RIR status and has published ads? Can the employer still file for RIR conversion under this opportunity?
If the employer has already placed an advertisement and begun recruitment under TR, it is unlikely that conversion at that point will result in a substantially faster resolution to the application. Such an employer may wish to simply continue with its TR application. If the employer in this instance chooses to convert, the requirements for RIR applications have not materially changed. If you have recruited for RIR conversion prior to December 20, 2006, that recruitment should be sufficient for this purpose if it meets the criteria listed below. The recruitment must have taken place within the 180 days prior to submitting the RIR conversion package, and must have been undertaken with the correct prevailing wage. In the event that job order activity was initiated by a BEC prior to the intent to convert e-mail being received, and/or if the employer has published an advertisement, the BEC will compile all resumes received from applicants and send them to the employer on or around February
