Oh wow! Congratz! I guess there are now like 5-6 people in the thread who got everything completed (except oath), right? I hope I also get my LPP completed in a week or so

Thank you!

To be honest, I was hoping LPP would be completed by early February.

At this rate, I feel like I might need to reschedule my oath (which I really don't want to do) : (

Wishing you the best of luck!!!

Team 2 is super slow, i don’t have very high hopes from them.
