Perhaps but generally judging by how many people haven't received the acknowledgement letter yet it seems to have slowed down quite a bit. Ya they're paranoid mostly, our community needs to start helping one another. Unfortunately, a large majority in our community are competitive and envious. Why not pray for each other and wish well. Imagine what they could accomplish if they simply worked together. These forums and groups help pass time a lot and you learn so much.Don't get dis-hearted.
only a fraction of people come online and tell their story on this forum.
I believe that there are lots of people out there who don't share their updates here. May be because their case is straight forward. or may be because they are getting updates and things done more quickly for them.
Also, I am really not happy to say this, but people of our community are very reluctant to share their experience online.
