I think most of us are in the same boat.
From reading the VSC forum, it seems as if UCIS were trying to clear the backlog of cases before issuing 2nd FP notices. A lot of people who had their first FPs done in October 2002 were approved recently. Unfortunately, most of us had ours done in August 2002.
I have had no word on 2nd FP. Am about to apply for 3rd EAD and AP....
In case you guys haven't seen it - there's a good forum on the tracker page that gives weekly updates of processing at VSC. It shows the progress by EAC number (# of cases approved, transferred, RFEs sent etc). Very helpful I think.
