A lot of posts on this board have appeared about the confusing processing times in VSC. Here is the explantion:
File maintenance date 10/24/01: the time they verify the mails are out of danger(anthrex, etc.). This is essential since of 9/11, particularly of 10/13, when an anthrex mail arrived at VSC.
Incoming mail date 9/5/01: After maintenance (notice: all the mails that have not yet been opened are suject to such maintenance), they put them in order of consecutive date.
Date of Entry 8/29/01: the time they enter your application information to their computer systems for review. As soon as this is done, those guys whose applications are sent before this date will be sent the Notice.
