Hi guy：preliminary processing was complete

因為我給我的一個朋友也monitor他的case狀態(Family based). 我在兩天內收到兩個emails有關這個case:

USCIS-CSSO
On May 2, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between 990 and 999 days for us to process this kind of case. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case.

CRIS
This case has been approved. On May 3, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business hours.

不知道是不是巧合該case很快就批了.這個"preliminary processing was complete" 都發生在RFE case,有可能是指RFE達到要求,也很可能整個case已經過了.
