what I have observed so far
1. Your application goes to processing queue once the money has been taken from your account which is 6 working days on average.
2. The acknowledgement date means nothing because its second class post and could take many days.
3. Most of cases are decided within four weeks from the date of debit.

The processing time might decrease because of low number of applications in May.
I think from next week onward people will start sharing news.
