today is November 15th. and we still have a lot of September and even some August people around.
plus . . . VSC did slow down A LOT duing last month.
Now think about all the holidays . . .
dude . . . don't get me wrong. i'm not trying to bring you down or anything . . . just realistic dates . . . helps plan your life better.
i have september 6th RD. i knew 6 months ago i needed to travel in December. I was so sure i'll get GC before that time that i didn't bother with AP. Now there are some dudes who say that Boston field office no longer issues APs on the same day. If this is true i'm really screwed. Tickets are not refundable.
So . . . i think you should thank that IIO for at least giving you honesty you deserve, not some bullcrap that is going to screw up all your plans later.
