I received a full request late June (When I queried in April) and expected to wait forever like usual, and if I didn't hear from them, nudge at the 3 month mark.
Well the agency showed their enthusiasm after about 2 weeks, updating me that they were still reviewing it (which was great to hear) then 8 days later, a specific agent said, again, they were all reviewing it and will get back to me. So here I am getting more and more excited because of these two updates. It sounded like they were all passing it around within the agency. But now it's going on 3 weeks. (which isn't long at all) but the updates got me in a dither.
Rarely have I ever had an agent update me. And never had I had an agent update me twice. I was feeling really hopeful. But now it's getting into 3 and 4 weeks. I was thinking of nudging her after a month has gone by if I don't hear back. Would that be a good time? Or should I just let it go longer? Is it a good sign that the agent is updating me like this? Or is that a common thing when a full is pending?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I just wish I wasn't so psyched up for this one. I'm feeling like a rejection will be hard to take on this one. The only other thing I can hope for is an R&R.
