@Cukegene I know you ,,muppala, me ,bi2013 are the only guys waiting from october, all of us in first and second week of october not sure whats happening? yuu think shut down effected our cases? Hope this ends soon 70+ days and this does not end not sure what options we have!

 

Yes; it sucks man. I know guys with yellow slip are getting cases solved in 50-60 days window. But our cases are already beyond 70+ days. I do not know what to say ...just wait and watch I guess..

You should be close. Green slip cases are first to get resolved. Since you already have 3 updates; you should be getting clearance sooner than later.

Good luck with your repsective cases.

The wait is extremely frustrating, but it gets done eventually.

Good Luck to all of those who are waiting, this forum has provided very good information for which I didn't have any clue (221g Green). It gave sense community feeling and much needed patience. 

 

Never ever loose hope. :)

 

Thanks to all for their valuable inputs. I am planning to travel on Monday, let me know if somebody is planning on that day.
