Early priority dates 2001 & 2002
I just checked the status of the 10 cases before and 10 cases after me.
In the 10 I did not count the ones that it did not find in the system.
In the 10 before mine, 7 are CERTIFIED and 3 are In Process.
In the 10 after me, 6 are CERTIFIED, 1 WITHDRAWN and 3 In Process.
When I look at the above data, its easy to see that about 70% plus cases around my case ID are certified. That makes me think that they are following the order of these case numbers as they got entered into the system and CERTITIED all the cases that met their initial criteria (also as one DOL official stated CLEAN cases). I don't know if there is any connection between the case numbers and PDs.
My conclusion is all the cases left behind (skipped) are probably going to have to go through a Secondary Review process. And I think there are probably very few analysts who can do the Secondary reviews. Sometime ago I read on the forum that the complex cases have to go through this second review.
So only when we know what their criteria is for CLEAN cases or what makes a case go through additional review, we may get to know why our case is stuck 'In Process'.
This is just my opinion.
So guys with earlier priority dates, check the status of the cases around yours and see if you see that above 70% CERTIFIED trend.
