HO is getting back on track...

Approvals at the End of Feb for the January applications seem too early. What do U think?

If you look at my application timeline, I won't be surprised to get a decision mid March or end of March.
There is a possibility on early Jan applications to get a decision end of Feb.

Hi guys, Ive checked the Nov and Dec 2013 threads. As of 13 Feb, around 20% of Dec applications have been approved. This assumers that HO has the remaining of this month to settle Dec (and some Nov) applications. We should see Jan application approvals to come from first week of March. Comments?

I think the same. Judging by the progress of November/December applications approval I think in March our January applications will start getting resolved.
I am sometimes wrong.

Is this based on Fee date or application date?

Mid November as well as some December approvals have started to come in and judging by their rate in the past 10 days my guess is that January application approvals should start to roll in from beginning of March,
