It doesn't seem fair especially when all we do is wait, I don't even sleep properly, I wait and wonder when we will hear something. When I first got this letter I was very sad especially since many January 2017 files got DM but now i'm hopeful and I see this as a good sign, it means we don't have long to go, our file is waiting on a desk and soon we will get DM! Hang on my friend! I'm hoping it means we don't need an interview but perhaps we may still get an interview letter once they look at our file. So we continue to wait. Wishing you good luck
AOR1 was Feb 1 2017, and AOR2 was April 11, I think you will be fine, I really feel like this letter is a good sign, you will hear something soon. It seems like they are not making you wait that long, 7 months max. Do you know if you are cleared for an interview? I wonder if getting the letter means there is no interview.......
