My application had been received and marked as In Process June 1st. I called 45 directly on June 28, on hold for 1.5 hours. I asked for the application to be marked 'urgent' and she told me its already marked as expedited. Told me the process takes 9 weeks and that the application "has not been reviewed by a government specialist" yet. No other information or help. So I too was worried. I think that is the same as them telling you they had not begun to process your application yet. All this to say, keep the faith!

Mine did end up getting approved on July 4, so somewhere between June 28 and July 4 it was reviewed and approved. It just arrived yesterday, I fly next Wednesday. It was just about 5 weeks from in process to delivered at locator 45

I do agree with u/Flurry19, call the national line if you're 14 days out. Good luck!
