Similar situation here. Been nearly a year, the ABCFO isn't budging on providing any detail or communicating what deficiency there is or what extra info is needed to me nor my MP.

Nothing shady in my record either. Yes to a personal history question but provided a lot of information up front negating it (e.g. lost job, but got rehired and have been permanently employed since a couple months after). Also gave me the 18 month estimate.

I would expect, if they're investigating, that they would have asked for more info, contacted references, or requested permission to access more of my personal information at this point. I don't think they're investigating. I think it's in a "look twice" pile that they aren't putting much effort into.

I’m the same. Says ‘passed initial review. If we need more we will contact you’ I’m AB also. Good to know the fight I might have on my hands attempting to get an answer.
