The previous T/O list, exam 8098 was extended. Keep in mind there was a hiring freeze during this lists lifetime. If one has the curiousity and the patience, they could read through 8098s thread. Granted it’s more than 240 pages, but you can see what number they reached during that lists normal four years, and after it’s extension. Have faith, do not lose hope, and most importantly, BE PATIENT. MTA = might take awhile
