Seems like there could be a long wait. Seeing how long people wait here, humbles my woes about not having a DM a few days after the test. Just as others here, I am in the background/security check or whatever stage. The officer at the interview told me there is no telling how long it will take, but he mentioned something like two month. Who know really. So far it has been only 6 weeks, so basically nothing. Hopefully the next steps will come soon for those who wait, but it's clear that it's our of our hands.

There is a trend that i noticed, people that takes long to get DM usually receives DM 5 months after status went IP

It makes sense ... We shouldn't count the time from the interview because the checks start when the application goes to IP ... interview is just a step along the way

Did you get an RQ ? Do you have an idea why it's so long ?

No, at all!
I called the call center and send them several mails and I get always only one response: Everything looks fine and as long as you still within the 12 months frame, you should be patient!

They didn't mention background/security checks ongoing ?
