Lol - too early for my area! Dont know if this stat/conclusion stands much scrutiny but apparently those who've made joint applications, usually leg behind when compared to those single. I am on the former, so I might be holding on for a bit :-)

Same here, ours is family size 3 so lets see....
Mine is single, yet still waiting... I wish I enclosed special delivery envelope with it when submitted through ncs, maybe should send it now anyway with the reference to my case number?....... Good luck for today to all of us who are still waiting!...
