Just got an email with the subject "We're still working on your application". Needless to say, the excitement was short lived. Anyone else get any messages like this after 20 months of waiting?? Below is the message:

We're still working on your application.

You may not have heard from us in a little while. This is normal. Most of the progress on your application happens closer to your estimated completion date.

We send messages to your account if we need something from you. When we do that, we'll also send you an email to this address:

Learn more about what to expect while you're waiting for us to process your application.

I also received the same e-mail yesterday. Not sure what to interpret. Atleast something better than nothing!

Hi,
I remember getting the survery email a while ago, but not today. Today I got the second ADR for our Schedule A. I dont remember if this is something we filled out already. This process has been almost two years and I dont remember things anymore! If we did fill it out before, I just hope it matches!

It's an update they want on your pa. I received the same in mar of this year. After that it's been dead silent. No new updates

I am just glad to know that you got a request...that means they are processing FSWO applications now atleast. Hopefully, the coming month should give some clarity. I hope they have created a queue to clear the backlog of 2018 before they look at other applications.

Have you requested your GCMS notes, if so what was the status in the file?

Gcms was requested once before 6 months.. Eligibility was review required. Thinking to raise one more gcms.
Got it, did your GCMS notes spell out the reasons for the Review Required, usually these notes are in the last few pages of the GCMS file.

Yeah...that was job responsibility not mentioned in reference letter. However we managed to get updated reference letter from employer and submitted via webform.
