The rumor of " approval process for lads is fully stopped this year"
has prevailed in this area for a while. Please comfirm it.

	This kind of messg has been repeated a few times in this net.
	The rumor is not true, at least partly.  My wife, a lad, received 
	her real GC a coupled of days ago.  She got the notice in March 
	which stated that the application process had been completed and a
	rquest for visa had been made to the State Department ...
	just like what many other lads received.  This may mean that
	the visa is not frozen.  Keep in mind that many netters have droped
	out from this net so the information is no more dynamic.

	Good Luck!

Your wife luckily got her visa number before it was frozen.  some INS office 
requested enough visa number in anticipation, then process the applicantions 
thereafter.  As for most of INS local offices and state department visa 
division, the processing is stopped, because no more application will be 
accepted, no more visa number will be granted until next fiscal year, and the 
approving is actually frozen for lack of visa number.  Your wife's example is 
actually retrospective processing.  

 Good Luck!
