April 2001 Processing
I just spoke to a lady in Maryland SESA, and she told me if the federal government doesn\'t provide them with more funding to
hire more people, it will take them at least 2 years from now to finish the April 2001 cases (RIR and Non-RIR combined). The state
government is not responsible to funding LC, so they have notified the related fed gov, but no response yet. She told me that they received thousands of LC apps(possibly 10,000) in April last year, compared to 160 cases for an average month, and right now they
have 13,000 backlogs. She mentioned there are less RIR than Non-RIR, so of course RIR will be quicker (they put priority on RIR
as it is defined), but she couldn\'t provide a more accurate estimate.
