Some applications are much more straight-forward, and therefore quicker to approve, than others.

When I went for lunch this afternoon, I found a brown envelope at the doorstep which got my heart racing. When I opened the envelope I found a letter saying special delivery envelope is not required since I applied through NCS, also got the special delivery envelope attached inside the envelope.

The letter was dated 10th February, does this mean they are now considering my case?
