When I managed to get through to a T2 rep last week he said something interesting about the receipt date and zip code being "the magic formula". I dunno what the hell he meant with that and when I asked he didn't give me an answer. Perhaps what he said was of substance and your region plays a role on how fast/slow an application is reviewed, along with receipt date, expiration, and lady luck. For example, I'm sure southern Cali (where I'm from) has a shit ton of applicants compared to Montana; thus an applicant from southern Cali would have to wait longer. Or maybe he was just talking out of his ass and I'm over-thinking this as a symptom of progressively losing my marbles as this prolonged anxiety continues with each day....
