Lots of information on this.

Hi Guys

I came to this conclusion that they are working based on CIO received date not based on CIO AOR date. If you closely monitor timeline for all who got medical or file statuc changed to IN Process. All these guys file received by CIO on sept to dec 2009. Based on this conclusion our file will take some time.

Hi ,
I got medical request today from LA office. My file was transferred on October 5, 2011 to LA.
The letter mentioned to submit the medical within 120 days for further processing of the application.
But I am concerned, nothing is mentioned on the letter regarding interview. Is that mean my interview is waived or still they could ask for interview? Please reply
