Mr. Best,
Your case is in one of our initial processing queues pending assignment for further evaluation and/or document search if applicable. Due to the significant increase in FOIA requests, it is difficult estimate the completion date at this time. Estimating an actual completion date for your case is also difficult, as it is entirely dependent on whether or not document are located, how many documents are found, and the complexity of any document located. The average completion date for cases such as yours is 1-2 years. Please be advised that this estimate is subject to change.

Thank you for your patience,

Cindy

Could you please clarify what you meant by "The average completion date for cases such as yours is 1-2 years"? I'm not sure what "cases such as [mine]" refers to. Thanks!
