It was like the last few hours of the flight before landing that felt longer. Finally made it in about 3.5 months from applying. Still a month or so to go before a travel document/passport is ready for planning holidays...

Thanks a lot for every helpful soul in the forum and Good Luck to all waiting for their approvals. Keep visiting the forum as an antidote to anxiety!
