Does anyone know if the applications will continue being processed during Christmas holidays season obviously excluding the holidays or is the home office shut during these days? I still see the fees are being processed in Dec 14 thread but applications not being approved for several days now in the Nov 14 thread.

Just like any other organisation, they will be short staffed but not shut completely.
