IMBRA Letter

[sbgwolf1 0]

Many of us here have received our IMBRA letter. Did that go out in bulk to EVERY applicant that has submitted apps since March 6th? OR (I am just trying to be optimistic) did they review the apps and hold them until the RFE was ready, then send out the letter on the ones that have in some way been preprocessed already?

I, personally hope they preprocessed them!

From the sound of the emails they did "preprocessing":

However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message.

I believe they kept on processing what they could, 'cus we got a fast approval for a member who had just applied, and right after his RFE was back he was approved (Gomez) so they must have been working on the cases while they weren't allowed to approve anybody.

You guys are so optimistic.....I sure hope you are right

I have been told by my lawyer that they do all processing on the form first before sending out the RFE in case they need something more than just the IMBRA info. The email I got said that the processing had already been done so it bears that out.
