11/5 approval

It is a long way, here is some experience:

1.Check your Name check status as early as possible by POJ method to call TSC or NSC or infopass, if I knew it earlier, I will get all done earlier.

2.Write to FL and FBI directors with certified mail, keep receipt. Only FBI reply is to FL’s certified mail.

3.Keep contact with local senators or congressman and notice them every progress

4.FOIPA request might be helpful

5.Ask your boss to write to FL and FBI might be helpful

6.Contact all these politicians frequently. eg., you can write to FL and FBI directors frequently with certified mail.

7.Last, but not least, pray to God with all your heart.

Here, special thanks to xiaobaitu, radiology, mytwocents and others' experience and help!

Good luck to all GC pending applicants!!!
