Thanks for the update, R. Its good to know I'm not the only one in this boat.... I hope it comes through soon for both of us.
Granted that FP isn't really giving us anything material in terms of status... but in this loooong wait, its these milestones that give us hope and something to look forward to.
Even if we at least knew the reason why our applications are treated different from others, it would be some relief. This not knowing is what is so hard...
