At the current processing speed I'm guessing that some of us may even get to the 15th yr h-1B mark by the time...

    Poll_Post your status

    My online status changed from "In Process" to "certified" on Wed, 9/13/06, the congressman's office also confirmed the same. So I'm guessing (I'm not a programmer) that its either real time updates or daily end of day batch load . . . BEC only has ~340,000 records! How difficult can that be...
