Congratulations mbanner!! Certainly good news and glad to see a male not get an AP. I want to ask a question. My apologies if you explained before, but I tried going through your posts but could not find an answer. My question: Why was your case sent back to USCIS for further review?

Thanks for any info you can provide.
