Has anyone noticed an increase in PGN previo's?

It seems like there has been an increase in pgn issueing more previo's then I recall in past months. Is that my imagination or has anyone else noticed that as well?

Not sure how true this is, but I heard yesterday that 3 from the old pgn sued to get their jobs back. That would make sense why things have sudden gone awire the last couple of mos. with the new pgn.
To tell the truth, after 2 k/o's so far for us, it doesn't much feel like the new pgn, does it?

I heard the same rumor about the old pgn people getting back their jobs. Might have something to do with how screwy things seem to be. This does not at all seem like a "new" pgn to me. My agency told me before they reorganized to not get too excited about the changes. He says pgn is constantly reorganizing, some things get better, other issues worsen.

We've gotten one previo - that I know about - but our case was refiled last week. I was hoping that after getting the previo straightened out, we would be out, but that hasn't happened.

As the not so proud owner of three previos, I would say yes.

I think that the 'new PGN' isn't much better than the old one...in some cases might even be worse. There seem to be two distinct categories:
1. You are reviewed and released quickly
2. You are stuck there for quite a while with several previos.

Don't really understand why some fall into category #1 and others go into #2...there doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason to it.

I agree! My two previos were for lame reasons too! One was for a something not being there, but was there! And the other was for a Guat error. I thought they were supposed to totally review the paperwork and make all the previos at once so they could be fixed at the same time. Well, that's what I was lead to believe. Here's hoping that we all get out really soon and no more previos! A girl can dream....

Just curious...people with more than 2 previos-Were your babies born in GC?

It seems a lot of non GCBC babies are getting OUT quickly the month of August. I could be wrong....

Our daughter was born in Mazatenango and we have already have 2 previos -- so I don't think that the previos are due to this issue. Something is going on though -- because we are seeing many more people with multiple previos again. Our agency had also told us that they expected at least one -- but not 2 -- and now it has already been 15 days from the last one and we're wondering whether we're in for a third. Enough already!!

So why was I told that PGN has been straightened out, with the turn over of corrupt folks and they are only allowing 1 prevo and if they miss something then thats too bad.. the case moves on??? ??? Anyone else hear that?

We have had two previos that I know about- possibly more and our little guy was born in GC. Seeing as we truly were resubmitted on 8/8 ( have receipt) and still no word- I am wondering if we have another previo?????
