I hope it won't take too much longer, considering that it is a joined application for 3 of us. Also, we applied together at once for 3 of us, yet hubby's receipt of application came two weeks later than mine and my daughter's...

Yesss, finally the day has come I have just received an email confirmation, now just waiting for those famous brown envelopes. <3 we are waiting for invitation for ceremony at the moment, hopefully that won't take much longer now.
