Congratulations!! It seems like you were under SS indeed. These days it seems like many SS are clearing within 6 to 8 months. Which gives me hopeAs per Ralph’s reply, and later confirmed by GCMS notes, criminality was passed and security was in progress since August 29th. No further updates after that, until the ghost update yesterday!
Because my wife and I have a law enforcement background, we both are police officers back in Brazil, I firmly believed we were in SS, but it turned out it was cic backlog, I guess. Or, if it were SS, they cleared it in less than 7 months, which would be very unusual.
