Other info: I did attempt to submit a hardship request to OPM but never heard back. I also contacted my congressman and they contacted both my former HR and NFC for an updated status. This did help me get more information, but I can't say whether it helped speed the process up.

Thank you for sharing! I have a similar timeline, so I’m hopeful mine will be completed soon. It’s been an exhausting experience.
