Hopefully we'll have more progress for next week.

True, at the rate at which the HO is covering grounds as per payments, if the January 2014 payment gets cleared that will leave the HO with end of Oct, Nov, Dec and January approvals to clear out........

Timing is everything.... If you think that majority of the early October 2013 applications got approved within three weeks

If the queue theory as per date the application got / received by the HO is correct, then I'm dependent on the late Oct, Nov and early Dec 2013 turnaround. That should give you idea of my timeline.

My heart is praying for quick turnaround for all the folks ahead of me, I hope I get prayed for as well by folks with application after mine.
