I have some new information on my case: After visiting this forum today, I decided to "bother" my lawyer again. So I sent him and his paralegal (who should know what's going on) an email. I got two responses, one from the paralegal, one from the lawyer.
The paralegal's response:
"The delay has to do with backlogs - it will be a minimum of six months from
the time we responded.
Unfortunately, NJ is one of the most backlogged and slowest states."
The Lawyer's response:
"It was sent to the Regional office in New York on 4/13/04. "
So it turns out I wasn't just imagining things a few months back (see my previous post).
Now I won't know for sure until I hear anything from the regional office. When I call the regional office's AVM (212)337-2193 and enter the employer's phone number (from the LC Application Form), I get "This phone number cannot be located." From the NY Regional forum, I can tell the case is usually entered in the system 2-3 weeks after it's sent from the SESA. It's been over 4 months.
Right now I feel like I'm completely in the dark. I don't know where my case is, and I just hope it didn't get lost in the mail.
As you can tell from the conflicting answer's from the law office, I feel like I can't really ask them anything. Who knows what their answer be tomorrow, the day after...
