Waiting time legacy?

If anyone is on legacy casework (regardless of team), how long did you wait before you heard from your caseworker/manager? If you got you visa how long did the whole proccess take? If you are waiting how long have you been waiting since you submitted your documents?
Can this be made sticky topic?
