Thank you very much, jrinny, samina, ksnm and all the viewers. It really feels like a warm family here. I haven't felt this kind of warmth long since I came to this country.
I tried the automated system with all the company numbers I have and it didn't work. So I call up the paralegal again and asked him to give me either my case number or the registered employer's number. He seemed surprised at the fact that I have this telephone number. He didn't give me any info but promised to call me back. Then, just a few minutes ago, he left a message on my answering machine telling me that my case has not entered the regional office yet, because they sent together with my application a card and the card is supposed to be sent back to them when the case reached the regional office, and they haven't got the card yet. Any one knows what this card is? Is it a normal practice to send and receive this card?
As for the case number, he said the case number is available only when the application enters the regional office. This seems conflict with what I have read here.
As for the employer's number, he said it is not available either. He gave a reason in the message but I didn't get it because of his fast speaking speed and my less than satisfactory listening comprehension.
I am going to call him back. What should I tell him?
Your input is highly appreciated.
Thanks again.
