Samarorep,

I came across your thread and noticed that we have almost the same timelines. And I applied in Manila too. Did you get a notice too about the Rasolzadeh case?

Thanks.

Are you gonna opt-out or proceed with the settlement? I posted an entry here and one of the experts said its not wise to opt-out coz its not sure if the processing of my application will speed up anyway.

But if I proceed, processing time will be until 2008 since I applied in 2001.

Have you contacted any of the lawyers yet?

No, I did not reply but last week i received a letter from the Visa officer advising me that they already finished reviewing my application. Interview is not necessary in my case at this time.

They need however some documents (e.g. updated application form under sched 1, updated personal net worth, explanation re sources of funds, new passport size photos and valid NBI clearance. These must be submitted within a month.

I don't know if the notice is already an equivalent to the so called a waiver of interview??
