-ve side : Number of I140 applications received by TSC in 2003 is less than half of applications received by VSC in 2003. So, why are they so slow....?
+ve side : If you look at all approved I140 from 7/1/04 to 7/20/04 are ranging from Dec,2002 to Aug,2003. And many of them in Jul and Aug,2003. Looks like next time report will show big jump from June 16,2003.
Atleast things started moving in last few weeks.
Hope for the best.
