20 applicants so far in February and nearly 70% have their money debited, good going! It'll be interesting to see how February stacks up in comparison to January when 92 applicants reported their progress in the timelines thread. Nothing like October when 284 applicants checked in on the timelines thread, phew!

My NC appointment is 11 March 2014. I am checking Feb applications, and hope this fast speed will continue next month. HO has been really fast this month. Yeah, Oct 2013 was a disaster. It took so long.
