Completely agree. If you aren't approved before three months then you're in for a long wait. I'm done with my 'theories' as to why I haven't been approved (I'm still sticking with my 'old' age and lack of 'family'), I'm sure Alex is over that too. Come the 15th of October I will start emailing as many people as I can to see what results I get. It's just frustrating seeing everybody else approved (especially the ones that applied after, and even a few weeks ago) and I'm still waiting. Like many of you, I had plans that I have to keep postponing until further notice. My case isn't difficult, I sent all the information, my last name isn't common...so yeah, I'm waiting and I'll keep waiting .
