any sajhaite currently waiting for Acknowledgement of Recipt (AOR) or Initail assessment (IA)? I heard that there is a great delay lately. Any body knows how they do back ground check in NEPAL? It seems the average time line for aplicants from middle east and south asia is longer than their US or Europian counterparts(when applied to Buffalo office) as it takes awfully long time to get the security clearance from these countries. Please share your opinions and time lines. Thanks. My time line Applied Dec 04 AOR March 05 IA: not yet
