Meeting adjourned at approximately [time not specified in transcript].
All right, so uh question how long is the time to process the application after it's been submitted? What about what's the average time once you send an application in? It's very hard to give an average time for processing, and the reason is because we're dealing with COVID, and so USCIS is using that as a great excuse to delay things further. Um, but for the most part, within a few weeks, most people get at least a receipt notice letting you know that they received the application. Uh and so, you know, with anything with immigration requires a ton of patience. From our summer break. The meeting of the Myanmar City Commission is now called to order. An opportunity was given to the public to register to participate or email the city clerk 24 hours prior to the city commission meeting with any questions, comments, concerns on items.
