Since it was my very first direct submission to CGC, I tried to track everything (maybe will help other new folks know the process as well).  It did seem to take a little bit longer than some other recent timeframes shown on the thread, but I do have them in hand now :)

OK I haven't checked the status of my books for a few weeks. Last I saw they were still verified. Today I look and they are marked graded. Is there a way to find out what these grades are or am I waiting till they get here? Thanks.

There is a trick you can try that might work at that stage:

Take your invoice number and go to the CGC  main page and go to Verify CGC Certification then add 000 for book one, add 001, 002, 003  ect for subsequent books.

You might be able to pull up grades that way.. I did it one long ago

Modern Slow-Track (10 books)

- Dropped off at Buffalo (Nickel City Comic-Con) on 5/19/2018
- Received 5/25/2018
- Verified 6/28/2018
- Scheduled for Grading 7/6/2018
- Graded 7/7/2018
- Grading / Quality Control 7/9/2018

Expect it'll be Shipped/Safe shortly! There was a thread awhile ago where someone mentioned how they don't look at the grades online, and instead savor it and practice delayed gratification by waiting until having the books in hand, and taking out 1 or 2 per day. It's taking some serious willpower to not click on that invoice number to look at the grades, but I'm going to give this happiness-maximizing game a try!
