I bet you were jumping up and down to know that your ECAS has changed to In Process. Hopefully it is a quick process from here to your DM!
I am still waiting patiently for the ball to start rolling, but seeing the spreadsheet fill up with green is making me more and more anxious to hear something!

Anything shaking your end Ginger?

I was thinking as I was driving home what a life saver this forum is. Its like having a whole team of people pulling for you and knowing exactly what you are going through. I am sorry I didn't find you all earlier in the process or I might have had more of a reality check on time lines and expectations.

I think each and every one of you are fantastic! Now, where is that flag poling thread….

I would definitely suggest you sending them a case specific email asking if they require any further docs or info from you. I sent my email to them on Jan 15, and now it is process as of Jan 16.

So maybe my email woke them up a bit. Try it!

My husband and I seem to be on chronic tenterhooks at the moment and we have no way of reasonably managing our expectations in this space.

Any words of wisdom or comfort would be much appreciated!
