Although we are on a different visa to you all, we have now been waiting 7 and a half months, even though we have had an RFE, sent that info back to them over a week ago and still no approval. If I am not mistaken these slow downs always seem to happen just before a public holiday

guess they start to wind down a week before.
So here's hoping that once they are all back on Monday, I believe in the states, they will start to really move some paperwork and you will all get your approvals

(Mine too
