I really wanna know by what standard they pick the file to continue to process?I don't think anyone here can say how long it will take. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do except to wait. My application has been "recommended passed" since December (and is pending) and no further updates since then (so that's at least 2 months since the recommended pass by the analyst). I called in January and no updates in my file. Total processing time will be 6 months in 2 days.
