Now that I think about it, the reason it takes so long for PNP-I applications to get processes is because they are processed in batches. I think they are now doing the security checks for the firs-half of December AOR applicants. The security checks are usually done in parallel to the eligibility checks or after them (my eligibility is already done). That means the applicants with AORs in the beginning of December had to wait until the eligibility checks for the applicants in the mid December was cleared before all of their applications moved to the security check stage. Now a person like myself who logged his application on Dec 4 has to wait for other applicants in the same batch who logged their applications later in December until their security checks are all cleared before all of our applications move to the next phase.
If anyone with AORs in the first half of December has received GCMS notes recently, please share your group name and group # included in the 1st page of your notes. We may all be from the same batch.
