Congratulations!
Always glad to hear someone made it through. I applied last year and even went to their docs and phycs but I was denied. But in my denial was a pamphlet saying that If I chose to seek an appointment before a judge, I would be put on a "fast track" because my case has a high probability of being favorable. However; my lawyer had never heard of this.
Here in Michigan you get denied and thats it. Court is next.
My thoughts were: I had two strikes against me:
I was 49 (they like you better over 50)
I was a skilled worker

Well anyway I got a lawyer and have not heard anything yet as to a court date. Lawyer said the average wait here in Michigan is 3 years. Maybe fast track is 2.5 years instead of 3? We'll have to wait and see.....but heh!!, I turned 50!
