Dear Claire,
Same case with us...we were referred on Sep 7th but still waiting for our finalization, when many others beyond our date are being finalized. So, Called GH yesterday and the lady seemed surprised that ours were still outstanding but still gave the standard "Backlog response". On my request, she committed to refer our case to MoC and gave us hopes that our case would be looked up in the early next week. Keeping our fingers crossed,
