Hi Everyone --
I called and got someone who was nice enough to give me more details, more than the past two agents that I talked to in the past times I have called in.
The agent said that the file had not been moved, and that my background check is still on going. So nothing new there.
A constant factor in the conversation with all of the agents I have talked too, is the reinforcement that, this is a 24 month process and to just wait. I said that I had some friends who were receiving test notifications (and they applied in January) and that it seemed as though - applications were being processed faster, because of us having to pay more $$, and that the gov 'incentives' ... but according to her that has not been implemented as of yet.
Also I was thinking of moving to another city, but apparently if you move this will add more time to your application, but we do have the option to keep the file in the same office and not have it transferred. However, I don't really trust this - and that they will mail to the proper address. I have had bad experiences with this (As I had to move in the past (same city) and they mailed my application to my old address, SO FRUSTRATING. and super stressful.
