I called ten days ago (9/9/19) to check on an application with a check cashed date of 10/22/18 and was told my application was still pending and that an examiner had not yet been assigned but that one would assigned very soon given their current workflow. Operator said once an examiner is assigned things move along very quickly and that it should only be another couple of weeks. Sure enough, called them back on 9/18/19 to see if there was any progress and was informed it had been approved as of 9/12/19. Currently waiting on tax stamp to get to dealer.
From the looks of it, it appears that the check gets cashed and the application goes into a box in a closet for approximately ten months waiting for an examiner to be assigned. Once assigned to a human being, the process seems to move along quickly. At least that is what appears to have occurred with mine!
You got to love how the federal agencies operate!
