That's a little discouraging. I mentioned above that I spoke with a CHL worker today and she said they would get to my email within the next two days. I was under the impression once that happened I would see a status change. According to your timeline it could be another week or two before that happens. Bummer.

Well, they did state they are working overtime now so maybe they can now process them faster.

I wouldn't beat yourself up over the time on submitting stuff online. It looks like the time frame has equalized now. I submitted all my stuff online as well and I didn't get updates until around the same time as some who snail mailed them. Here is my timeline.
