Our timeline is similar to Ramino2022. Inland spousal sponsorshp, and PR applied for Aug. 2022 (paper); docs uploaded on web Oct. 2022. One background/security check has been an outstanding issue for at least a year which I find to be ludicrous. Really can't do anything else except wait. My wife has a WP that has recently been renewed without issue. Why the PR is taking so long I have no idea.
