Finally received the email containing my number as well as a brief description of what to do next. So for those waiting, here's my timeline:

July first meeting attended and met with FC and DC

August filled out and signed application as well as went ahead and prepaid dues to the DC

May 7th received acceptance email

Do know two others who had applied since I have also received their email yesterday as well so apparently things are finally moving.
