Call me a pessimist, but the trends in rupnet show a gloomy forecast for Sept. cases that most will not see their approval on their first year anniversary. Consider this:
There are 238 cases currently logged in rupnet.com for September. If we lower our expectation to say, only 50% of these cases will be approved, then it means: there should be 119 cases approved by month-end. There are already 28 fortunate souls approved, which means 91 to go to achieve 50% approved. There are only 16 working days remaining for September as of 9/6/02. That means: 91 cases / 16 days = 5.6 cases should be approved everyday starting next week to achieve the 50% quota. This may not be feasible considering how slow the VSC have become, so we lower further our expectation to only 1 case per day. 16 cases + 28 cases = 44 cases approved by month-end. That equals a pathetic 18% of the 238 September cases.
So, those with Sept. 2001 RDs and beyond, be optimistic, but be realistic also so you wont get disappointed. Patience is still the key, the waiting game may go overtime three times over.
