有几点想说的:
1. 当大家骂移民局骂奥本骂民主党骂共和党的同时,别忘了FBI. 可能很多时候FBI background check是真正的bottleneck。比如我的case,18年才current,17年11月底 就issue RFE了;renew combo card的时候不到60天就批下来了。不过到最后从RRFE到 assign officer时间有点长,但是assign officer两天之后就批了。所以我感觉我的 case如果说真正的bottleneck一个是等排期,一个就是background check。只要 background check过了,USCIS还是会提前一个多月issue RFE的
2. 本来以为只要RFE了就一直assign officer了,后来才发现RRFE之后还要重新排队, 重新等assign officer。这点上来说面试真的太造福大众了,至少能省掉第二次等 assign officer的时间。我RRFE到重新assign officer足足等了一个半月。
终于不用刷visa bulletin了,也不用关心inventory了。但是,我仍然报名了起诉DOS 浪费中国名额,该捐款时绝不会犹豫。
