why it took so long? no idea.
I did not receive any RFE. Since October 2001, I have been calling them every 30 to 45 days and their response was "we have a lot of backlog." In Dec 01, they told me that my file was on wrong place. Eventually it would have moved on its own. She put a yellow expedite sheet on my file. On 2/14/02, they told me that my file is moving towards an officer and it started moving on 2/7/02. on 3/14/02, I talk to my lawyer, he found out that my file is assigned to an officer on 3/12/02
on all dates 19th or 23rd, I noticed few more thing
got passport on 19th October
first visa stamp on 19th Sep
AND ...
got married on 19th Nov,
Now I do not know if 19th is lucky for me or not.
I am just kidding.
I will miss this board.
