As posted earlier I was approved yesterday and I also checked for my brother and he was also approved today. Both of us didn't receive an email or a text. I think NSC is getting faster at processing renewals. I hope everyone else receives theirs.

My application was received: 01/12/15 | biometric: 1/21/15 | Approval: 3/16/15
My brother's: 11/19/14 | biometrics: 12/16/14 | Approval: 3/17/15
