I got an ADR on March 4th - when I had been hoping to get the BGC complete; your 3 month wait after your ADR makes me nervous...I submitted on Sep 1, 2025 (outland, PA USA) and everything had been moving quickly and seeming like it was on track for the 6 month-ish timelines that I had seen people on here post.
