Just now checked the AVM and found out that my case (EB2 NIW, PD Jan 98, ND 8/6/99, RFE 11/1: empl. letter) has been transferred to the local INS office in Washinton D.C. I live in Virginia, so do they mean the office in Arlington? Does anybody have knowledge in this regards? I also heard that processing at the local INS offices\' takes so long! Please comment.......
