The timeline thus far...
LTC Application 12/01/2016
Fingerprints: 12/9/2016
LTC Class 12/17/2016
LTC Supporting Documents Received 12/19/2016

My wife, son and I have all been going through the process together. We have the exact same timeline as above. My son received his LTC on 1/5/2017. My wife just got hers on 1/9/2017. YAY! My status has not changed.

So this leads me to believe that one or more of the following may be occurring:
- They are doing some form of triage (fast tracking some applications at the expense of others)
- It is indeed a FIFO (First In First Out) process and I should expect my LTC within a week or so. And no I won't hold my breath.
- They don't really have the process, tools or infrastructure to manage the flow (plan, track report progress, etc.). In essence a chaotic or ad hoc process.
- They have Single Point of Failures (SPOFs) within their own process flow (e.g. an approving manager goes on vacation for 2 weeks)
- Other organizations outside of their own have an ad hoc process
- Handoffs between organizations are broken resulting in delays
- I am not worthy.

Good luck to all!
