well, no backup plans actually. Since this is already my second attempt, my first GC was in non-perm which didn't come through. Will be applying for one year extn soon, based on the pending labour.
My Employer still hesitates to send an individual email to DOL, asking for update.
I noticed people who applied in Sep 2008 audit cases, started seeing some responses from DOL. Hopefully i will know soon too.
Good Luck!
