Hi, I heard that the standard procedure was that the INS began to process the
lads' applications after they receive a copy of the approval notice. How come
so many lads got approved right away?  Did the INS even look at the application?
Are they supposed to send out a schedule of interview?  Maybe I should also
go down to the office and try my luck.

I don't think that is is so simple, if you did not receive the approve letter,
how can theyset your record? Remember, local officer can not approve you, it 
is decided by district office. If anyone get his/her GC by this way, he/she
is really the lucky one. Make sure you get your GC(not stamp on passport)
before you through your application file away.

Not all INS office accept approve notice, Buffalo office said you need wait
14 day, then come there (at least they told someone today) to do final 
processing. Maybe Albany has some quota left to let lad use?

Bye the way, a laywer told me that EC6 is special category for chinese student,
we still belong to EB3.

If anyone on legal side can tell us how to push lad's file go to processing, I
will deeply appriciate, the computer system is update slow, but open-window
will close by Friday(local INS may not know you are approved by Friday!!!)
