Here is what ATL01 said early Nov (put here for the reference and discussion):
"
new update
My supervisor just called GA SESA about "when they can clear out 4/30/2001 cases and move to May?" Here is the response, "there are about 3000+cases filed on 4/30/01, and we have several hundred left, we are processing about 80 cases per week. It might take 6 mth to 1 year to move to the end of May cases."
I think the estimate of 6-12 mth might be overstating. When you examine the response more closely, there are in total 3000 cases, and just assume there is 1000 left, that means they have processed 2000 in 4 months (from July through Oct.) at a rate of 500/month. At this rate, they could finish 4/30/01 cases by the end of Dec. or Jan. considering the Holiday months. Further assume May 01 as a normal month, then by Feb. GA SESA could move into May cases.
Please folks, if your HR is ignorant of these issues impacting our life in a great deal, just ask your direct supervisor, given if he or she cares for you, call GA SESA. They will release information to the employer since the employer is the petitioner in LC process.
