But... just to give hopes to those who have been waiting long like me, I wanted to share my timeline as well.

Accepted 7/24/14

Biometrics 8/18 /14

Approval 12/5/14


it took me almost five months in total. My original expired on 12/4 but my renewal got approved the day after. It may cut it close, or even pass your original expiration date, but it will get approved not too long after your expiration date.

Good luck to all!
