I've seen three recent cases where Iranian AP cases were cleared within a month after the dismissal of their WOM. In one other case, they were cleared after challenging the motion to dismiss, even before the judge could decide. It's a crazy unpredictable process so don't lose hope.
As for me, I have already signed a WOM contract with an attorney a few weeks ago and the lawsuit is currently in the process of being served. So it's too late for me to back out. I'm not going to let them dismiss my case without a fight and exhausting every legal option available.
