Hi everyone,
my LC was filed Oct 11th 2001 (RIR). Since then, it's still the same story (sect 245i loves april 2001).
My facts are these :
- I get processing times from this website : http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/foreign/times.asp
which means that RIR cases are still stuck in apr 2001.
- This phone # (212) 621-9330 hasn't been updated since aug 2003
- some people that filed in may01 under RIR have already been approved (I only heard of them in this forum. I'm not being skeptic but simply precise as to where the info is coming from)
- As of last week, my lawyer hasn't heard of any news regarding LC backlogs.
I personally think (hope ?) that 2004 will be the year where all this backlog clears up, mainly because :
- the past 7 months have seen jobless claims trend considerably lower
- this is an election year, and even though non-residents can't vote, past presidential campains have always had a supportive speach towards immigration issues.
Let's keep a positive attitude and hope for a clearer situation for all of us.
