No luck. Same as above the case worker at the congressman's office was told of COVID delays and to just wait.

@dsahay Congrats on receiving a fav rec! 2 months may just be the record! Did you have US government funding? I had Fulbright Masters funding so am asking whether that would take more time? (even if expedited request has been asked through the Senator and with a very valid reason).

@j1hardshipwaiting, any updates from DOS? I have a similar timeline as yours (i612/613 received May 13) and no update from DOS ever since
