No Title
I think that INS works pretty dumb. Apparently in their internal database they have a field something like "Internal Priority Date" and all files are sorted and processed according to this field. THis field is apparently being typed when the case is being entered into the system first time. I\'m pretty sure that all our processing depends on what a person - the original data capturer - puts into that field - ND or RD, and that can vary from one officer to another. After that field is stored, anything else is history. You belong to the month that they put into that field. And IIOs don\'t even think in terms of ND or RD. They think in terms of that entered date. In my case, RD 06/15, ND 08/13, I am pretty sure that they entered ND into that field, so my case ended up in the August folder.
It\'s not that there are good and bad officers, slow and fast officers in INS. It is just that your case is being put into certain folder once, and that\'s it.
