How big is the numbers you seen so far.. are all of them will have interview.. interesting that all cases in January received same.. but if so they should receive soon notice of transfer to local office?? But I think at least they don't have to worry about fre... The whole process became confusing I thought we will see less interviews since the change in November.. will see!!
