Hi Saylin. We just had our lawyer tell us she eventually got through on the phone- we “have to wait 20-30 “business” days from February 21st, for the case to be entered into the system”

So can you put NVC received Feb 21 for us on the spreadsheet! Thanks!

I think you, Kat&Abhi, aditya3245 and us are in the same august boat.

If i dont get it on or a few days after Mar 31st Imma get an aneurysm !
