The LHCb measurements of certain ratios of decay modes testing lepton flavor nonuniversality might open an exciting world of new physics beyond the standard model. The latest LHCb measurements of R-K* offer some new insight beyond the previous measurement of R-K. We work out the present significance for nonuniversality, and argue that claims of 5 sigma deviations from the standard model based on all present b -> sl(+)l(-) data including the ratios are misleading and are at present still based on guesstimates of hadronic power corrections in the b -> sl(+)l(-) angular observables. We demonstrate that only a small part of the luminosity of 50 fb(-1) foreseen to be accumulated by the LHCb will be needed to offer soon a definite answer to the present question of whether we see a very small glimpse of lepton flavor nonuniversal new physics or not. We also present new predictions for other ratios based on our analysis of the present measurements of the ratios R-K(*) and analyze if they are able to differentiate between various new physics options within the effective field theory at present or in the near future.
