April Month is cursed!!
It appears that filers in April 2003 month are cursed. If you guys still remember what happened during the period 'last of week of April 2003 and last week of May 2003', it explains our problems.
while sending out finger print notices for April filers, VSC had problems sending out duplicate notices. They tried to correct it, and finally stopped sending out notices. That's why many April filers got their first FP in Jan 2004. In this confusion VSC forgot to ask for name checks for some unfortunate April filers.
So it will be left to elected representatives to follow up our cases. Let us wish all the best for ourselves.
