I can’t help but wonder if the process is slowed down when people check their status online. I’ve heard that if you call Utah to inquire about the status of your application, which can’t be checked online and they offer no email feedback about progress, they’ll dig up your paperwork and tell you the status, then they’ll drop it at the bottom of the pile to start the wait from the beginning.
Since MD is all automated, checking the status online shouldn’t affect anyone unless their server resources are so limited that each request noticeably degrades their performance. But, I can see some wiseass web developer just trying to mess with people by bumping an application down the queue every time they check. I also wonder if the investigators have access to the number of times we look.
