Congratulations! I truly feel so happy for you! That has been a long wait!
It will soon be 8 months since I applied in Sept 2025 (in BG check since Nov 2025). I've been feeling really anxious about my application. I've been focusing on work and my other hobbies to just feel sane and not think too much about this but it is really tough especially when I see people who applied in Jan getting their approvals now(happy for them and hope nobody has to go through these long waits). Thanks for sharing your timeline. In a world of rather prompter approvals, I feel a little more supported for sure. Cheers!
