I was being told that you should start counting days since bio appointment. thats when it begins.they said waiting time is between 4-6 months since many are applying and it also depends on your center. my is Nebraska and it is the slowest. Where is your center?. I applied at the same time you did and my bio was sceduLED FOR 10/12/2012. I am still waiting for respone plus there has been holiday season and elections so they prolly did not approve whole lote before election. dont worry all of us will be fine as thedy are approving majority of cases.
