You're definitely not alone, dude. I'm at 10 months, 18 days and counting since they received application (9 months 21 days since the CC charge). It's not unusual for those of us who checked off personal histories to take over a year from what I've gathered over the last several months.

Granted I've seen outliers to that generalization where some users have taken 5-8 months. But there were variables ranging from where they contacted their MPs or the powers that be made a decision a lot quicker than the "norm" for whatever reason.
