I have been a silent observer in this forum for several months.
I checked the online status sunday morning after looking at another thread which said that their online status changed saturday night.
Its kinda funny the way things worked out. Unlike several folks in this forum, I would rarely check the AVM nor had I ever spoken to IIO. On the suggestion of one of my friends who insisted that the case gets flagged when U call and it helps faster adjudication assuming everything else is OK on your file. I spoke to IIO for the first time on April 28th. I was told that the response to RFE was received...blah blah blah.. and that the case is yet to be assigned to an officer. Interestingly she confirmed that on most cases the File goes back to the same officer who issued the RFE.
I called back on April 30th as I was given to understand(from Murthy chat) that the individual phone numbers of the 4 service centers would no longer be available beginning May Ist and that U need to call the National 1-800 number. Now the IIO said that it was assigned to the same officer but had no idea when it would be approved. Bingo...we had the approval on Friday.....May 2nd.
