I would not rely on ECAS so much. Many VO's are late to update it and unfortunately, it does not give much info on your case status.
Here are some realistic expectations:
1) When you start to see somebody (or cluster of people) behind you get a DM, that's when you can raise your expectation.
2) Keep in mind LVO are normally completing cases within 12 months if no complications from sponsor approval date
3) There are others that have had to wait
2 or
3 years to be re-united with their spouse because of the inefficiency of Islamabad CHC and some of the these cases are still pending resolution at LVO/IVO! So keep this in mind before ranting about lack of progress. (Unfortunately, some people do not give this fact the slightest thought.)
So just relax a little bit.
Your time will come soon enough, insha'allah.
Wishing all the members here Ramadan Mubarak!
And praying for a smooth, timely re-unification with your loved one.
