Graphical Trend
I used the latest consolidated (v20) to build the attached graph. Although the data is just a sample, one can see the following trends:
1. In general, the earlier the date the higher the % of approved cases. That means there is no total random processing. If the case is filed earlier, then there is higher chance that the case will be processed. Everyone expects that, especially in the US where FCFS, the fairness rule, is very popular.
2. However, our confusion starts here: TCS is processing cases from december 2000 til even recently march or april 2002, or even later. That means, although not total randomnes there is a lot of unfair randomness.
3. To give TCS its due, I think that the reason for this wide range is the error with FP notices. Now they are trying to avoid re-FP-ing by approving cases from spring 2002. You can notice in the graph a a relatively high % of approvals for such cases.
