Have you check your status lately on the ss website lately? Same thing just happened to me, then after a little over 5 months, the site said they had a decision that would be sent in the mail. A week later I recieved a letter saying i was approved. I felt extremely blessed at that point. I've seen the headaches of the system first hand with my mother who was denied a couple of times(while fighting a terminal desease no less) Don't want to get your hopes up...but like the last poster said it could be a good sign!
