Are there any data points as to why some people get approved in 2 or 3 days (as my wife did) and others are waiting and waiting and waiting (as I am even though my wife's application was submitted after mine!)?????? This seems to be the case long before the government shutdown, so that has nothing to do with it other than delaying approval even further.

Can't really blame the government shutdown for anything other than delaying further. Many posts on here say they applied in early November (long before the shutdown) and are just not starting to receive approvals. I applied December 1st and still Pending Review. My wife was approved in 3 days despite applying after I did. Doesn't seem to be any coherent reason why some get approved almost immediately and others are still waiting.
