praytx said:dharanir,
i am not sure which posts u r refering to for oct-2003 approvals. as of now, according to the uscis website...CSC is approving 10/2003 cases and TSC is approving 7/2003 cases. so it seems the information is kind of in sync.
having said that, my wife's 140 got approved in 7/04 with a ND of dec-2003 in TSC! so the 'luck' factor is still there.
good luck!
