I have a PD of April 2004 (EB2-RIR-CA) with case # D-05196-xxxxx.
I checked for other cases 10 numbers before me and 10 numbers after me, and each and every RIR case has been certified (TR cases are still pending). Mine is the only RIR case in the neighborhood that is still in process.
My case is a little different from the straightforward cases - the LC was filed by my previous employer that shut down, and was acquired by my current employer who responded to the 45-day letter and claimed successorship of interest. I am wondering whether DBEC put my case at the bottom of the pile because it was not straightforward like most other cases and had this successorship of interest factor. Is anybody else in a similar situation of being the only RIR case in progress in the neighborhood of their case number? If yes, does your case have any form of complications too? That will confirm/reject my hypothesis of complicated cases being put at the end of the pile for now.
