You could theoretically write your local or state representatives, or at least that is what I have seen written on the forums here and am now parroting.
I think it would be a conflict of interest and a security risk for someone employed at a government agency to do so, but I also wish it was possible.
The upside of this is that I have a TMVN subscription for free and I will share updates as they come, we are all in the same boat after all.
So far no intel on our group / no changes - your date has no approved cases so no change on your day, nor mine.
Fingers crossed that things move ASAP.
Being patient is a given, but IMO even though it is 'common' and I feel calm about it and although I am not challenging the process and I respect it, it does seem to me that it is unfair to apparently arbitrarily hold over a group of applicants in favor of another.
Oh well, restating it doesn't help it - we all understand.
I am happy for the folks who are having better luck than I. Who knows, maybe some of them will be my neighbors ;)
