Mine expires dec/18 too. But its almost 6 months now, even after clearing backlogs and applying fee, though not for draw 29, there's no change in the process which is quite annoying.
Hi I'm from draw #29 as well, my status is pending as well. I don't know when they gonna process further it's quite slow after clearing the backlogs too.
Let's hope to get the nomination soon.
Keep updating guys god bless
