What a relief ! Thank you to everyone here. To me it has seemed for a few months now, that at the moment at least, SET(M) applications are taking around 5.5 months to receive the decision. Good luck to all other SET(M)'s out there - I really hope that the backlog will begin to reduce over the coming months.
