I haven\'t heard a thing from VSC while I keep seeing people with later RDs get either approvals or RFEs. My details RD 4/1/99, ND 4/29/99. I am really resisting the temptation to call VSC and talk to an IIO and get a stupid answer that my application is \'pending\'. The phone message hasn\'t changed in over a year. I know there are several people with earlier RDs, but that doesn\'t give me any consolation. I am starting to consider CP/mandamus petition. Anyone with similar RD thinking along the same lines please respond to this message.
