Just wanted to update you all about my meeting with my MP's case worker today. She had me fill out a form that allowed her to request information on my behalf, and then called the special line they (MP's) can call to get more information. She then asked me what my timeline was and once I told her my application was 5 months old, she hung up the phone (we were in queue) and said that she can't/won't call until 12 months have passed and that they people on the other line wouldn't give her any info for the same reason.
