indicates that "In the interim, cases were reviewed but no final approvals were issued, creating a backlog in the system that is being addressed only now."

I was wondering if anybody knows which "cases" is the above line addressing?

I have seen several cases which have been approved during the "freeze" time.

I called INS VSC today and talked with IIO in regard to my EAD application (Aug28, 2002); it has been 5 months now and I have not heard about my EAD application yet. The INS VSC processing time indicates that it is in "Current" state for EAD application. He said check back in 60 days.

Well when I called them twice in past two months for my EAD each time they used to say call in 30 days. Now they have increased the time from 30 days to 60 days.

Is there anybody in the same boat as me. I-140 (EB3 Labor Substitution) application pending for 10 months; EAD pending since 5 months.
