I'm trying to find out the significance of the different locations but at least there's some action. I would appreciate if anyone could clue me in.
I think we're stuck in the loop after "Examiner issues office action" according to this flow chart (Procedure prior to appeal) until all questions are answered.

I think that a "Patentability Review Conference" is the final step.
