Today after losing patience for the first time decided to call Immigration officer and got through within 30 minutes. She was very polite took all details and she said "We do have your case here but rightnow we are processing october cases and it looks your's is NOV case ,so it will take a while". When We said , our receipt date is oct 2, 2001, and notice date is Nov 21, 2001. she said our computer shows it is a nov case,and when asked about processing NOV case, she said these things keeps changing we cannot be sure when we will be processing NOV case, It is very hard to guess.So we were very surprised to find that they do go with notice date.My details :
RD : 10/02/2001
ND: 11/21/2001
FP : 03/07/2002
AD :????????
EB2/RIR/NJ/IND
I do feel last year's anthrax problem did real havoc with all the mails,else our notice dates wouldn't have been in NOV.
