Welcome to the group guys! It's a long process, so be patient. As you should have read, the timelines here are what people report, only that, nothing more, and not official. We did it last year, with one RFE, and got it done in 10 months. So when things get to dragging, keep your spirits up. And ask as many questions as you like. btw, ours was CR1/CR2 and everything went fine, including the RFE.
