anybody have any indication as to what to expect next? ? ?

Would you fill in your timeline so we can help you? Thanks.

Hopefully they will go into speedy mode and start sending some approvals. There are a lot of people waiting for CSC to get moving!

This is just my opinion and I could be wrong. I think most of the petitions have been processed already. They stated on my RFE receipt that all processing has been completed with the exception of the IMBRA stuff. We should start seeing approvals start rolling in as soon as they catch up posting and adjudicating the IMBRA RFE's. As of this date, we are the first group to go through this process. There is no history or precedent.

More waiting.

I'm expecting an NOA2, hopefully before February.

I would suggest getting a book (or perhaps an entire set of encyclopedias) and prepare for nice long read. Considering you can see several people here that applied early this year that are still waiting on approval, I would not expect too much for awhile.

I know that a lot of comments have been made about processing continuing while RFEs were being prepared and sent out, but I think we cannot expect processing times to take a huge plunge anytime soon.

Maybe I am a little bit negative, but I would rather set my expectations low and be pleasantly surprised than set my expectations high and continue to be disappointed.
