I also talked with IO today and she said like before my file is under extended review and to be in the pending area. I asked her how they are approving 2004/2004 cases why not look at my file. She gave the common answer every file is different and they will review my file. I asked when she said she don't when they will be picked up. I told her about the response from the local office as all my security clerances are done and she said they do some extra checks in their office.
It looks like the people who are under "Extedned Review" or "Addtional review" need to wait forever.
She told clearly they are processing by the RD and mine is July 2003. (PD: Dec 2001). She is not able to tell anything about why they kept all old cases aside.
