I received a phone call from the BCA today to inform me that my case will be analyzed on March 14. I'm guessing this means that I will have a ruling then. The BCA has a newer case manager who takes a personal approach to the cases he handles (as versus playing politics). For the past month (since I said the magic words, whatever they were) I have received weekly phone calls from him updating me on the progress of my appeal. This is in stark contrast to the prior 4 1/2 years in which I fought tooth and nail for any type of information. Obviously, he realizes how little assistance LBPs get from the OCI in that he is completely bypassing protocols. If he is reading this post, THANK YOU!! :yeahthat
