If November was the month of publication submission it should take several more months for the publication to appear in print, hence perhaps February-April. As I understood it, the 6-9 months starts with the initiation of the writing which started in June 2017, 7 months ago.
I will be in shock if the journal article takes until August to publish. Did you know that many journals have a fast track which can speed up the entire process?
