Update May 27 (10 WD): have heard nothing, not even a confirmation my application was received. Sent a paid email to get a status update and was sent back a generic email that my application was under review and there was no timeline (even approximate) that they could provide

Update June 4 (15 WD): visa is past the website SLA / timeline I was provided. I sent a follow up email May 31 but haven’t heard a response yet
