Yea, you should def send them an email. Could you also ask when they will make callbacks and stuff? It seems like other offices are getting movement.

I just got a ding email that included a line about how it was great speaking with me, but I never had a phone interview. Did this happen to anyone else?

Just got the same ding email. I'm sure it's a boilerplate one. DC office MVPB top 15-20% if anyone's curious. Good luck to those still waiting.

For DC, what happens after the phone conference call with the panel of attys? Is there an additional callback round?

Yes. They ask you Qs for 20 mins, you ask Qs for 10 mins. Some people on the call didn't even talk.
