It seems like maybe this thread didn't get a lot of activity; I'm not sure if that's because there aren't a lot of applicants going through that office or not a lot of people asking questions. Just curious about other people's timelines? I applied Dec 6, 2017 putting me at 229 days today. I don't have Background Check Started on ECAS and no DM... so just wondering if any previous applicants (although I imagine you aren't active on here anymore if you' have DM hehe) can shed any light? Thanks!
