FWIW, I have heard of people writing to the judge, if the judge is sitting on it, explain anything on their record, how they've grown, etc. and it helping with the process. Your miles may vary though.

Just got mine in the mail, 6 months exactly after the date of submission. I am going to venture a guess that judges signing in DC are waiting out the full period allowed by NY state law, at a minimum.
