Wow, this doesn't sound good. That more people are being sent to CSS is another reason to worry. Unfortunately, these guys (VOs) cannot be hurried or queried, which can be really frustrating. While some applications are processed in half the official processing time, others (through no fault of theirs) are stuck and processed in 2x or 3x the official processing time and there is absolutely no remedy to check the process. That said, I wish us all a timely and positive outcomes on our applications.
