老问题了，再讨论讨论，大家不要拍我：）

走RIR,打广告，又时不时听到PERM的风声，说是年底要出来了（当然这个说了N年了，但这次是说出来了后60天就要实行，这样RIR就可能恰好来不及，considering the 6 month ad time), 那么RIR的广告可以count到PERM么？重新打不是要浪费好多时间和钱？就是不知道这两样的广告要求差得到底有多大？

6 month ad time, your understanding is not quite right.
1. Company may conduct recruiting effort to demonstrate
the foreign national is the only willing and qualified candidate.
From the first day of recruiting, the LC application needs to be filed
in 6 months period. ie. if LC wants to quoto the ad on 1/1/2004,
LC can not filed later than 6/30/2004.
2. Recruiting effort is only valid for 6 months for LC application.
This does not necessarily mean that you have to do recruiting for 6 months.
On the other hand, with 6 months recruiting,
it does not mean LC is approvable. DOL makes the call.
3. For Perm and RIR. This 6-month effective policy does not change.
Let's say, you start posting ad on 12/1/2004.
you need to file either RIR or Perm before 5/31/2005, otherwise,
you will need to redo the ad posting.

Hope this helps.

谢谢，明白了，所以六个月是上限不是下限对吗？
