well. i took a close look at those fast approved cases in NSC. almost all of them got labor approved first and then filed 140. and i personally think those cases are easy and NSC may like to look and approve those cases first. NIW or EB1 cases always contain big packages and may need longer time to review them, which means we NIW or EB1 have to wait much longer time than them.
i understand your feelings a lot since we both are in the same shoes.
Thanks NIW2005-2006, I have friends who filed EB1-OR/EA and EB2 NIW from TSC and were approved in 18 to 14 days. Is it true that TSC is faster or is it just our luck? I called NSC about 3 weeks ago and asked them weather they received my support material, they politely asked me to call back after 60 days.
If any one could give their input on my case I'd appreciate.
