My feelings exactly... I've been staying away from the boards a bit, because it's driving me nuts.

Congrats JerseyDomRep on your approval though! Always happy to see some February approvals! :)

The process is quite straight forward. They blindfold a member of their staff, they go into the storage office and grab 3 random boxes. The contents of the boxes are then tipped out into one pile, which is then shuffled a little. All staff have to pick a handful of petitions from this pile blindfolded, they then have to find their way to a desk. Once at a desk they can removed the blindfold and start processing what they have.

It's difficult for some as they even miss a lunch break while trying to find an unoccupied desk. I think they should introduce a rule that if they've not got a desk in a couple of hours they should be able to remove the blindfold. Any petitions not complete at the end of the day are randomly put back on the pile.

At the end of the week very little is approved on Friday. This is because they're putting the petitions they haven't yet done back in boxes for storage over the weekend. Then Monday they repeat the above.

I hope this helps, it's the only way I can imagine they do it :P:rofl:

Welcome, Shezita! Good luck!

Welcome Shezi We're Feb 29th too :).....

Thanks guys - nice to have a bit of company with people who understand! My daughter gathered my entire extended family for a big 'surprise' bon voyage party last weekend. If one more person asks me when we get married I might just burst!

How to plan the beginning of the rest of your life when you've been waiting in line for nearly 6 months....

A lot of Feb filers are getting NOA2s now though so let's hope that line keeps moving :D

This sounds pretty much like how I imagine it, too, except that they're doing all of this with their feet, having their hands tied behind their backs and all. Also, they are now keeping the blindfolds on while they are adjudicating petitions, which is why there have been so many RFEs lately.
