<p>Hi Carl,</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I just went through my notes to check dates ect. The dates were as follows:</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Date lodged: 17th Feb</p>

<p>Date Acknowledged: 21 Feb</p>

<p>Case Officer Assigned: 10 March</p>

<p>Application Approved: 14 March</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I'm assuming your DRC has gone through a migration lawyer/agent? In which case, you should have a case officer assigned within 10 business days (2 weeks) which it seems you have. From then on, if your DRC has been filled out correctly and has all the right info attached, it's normally quick. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>My letter says (copy n paste) " Processing times</p>

<p> The published service standards for ENS/RSMS cases is 5 months (ETA</p>

<p> countries) and 7 months (non-ETA countries)."</p>

<p> </p>

<p>They just use the same text for all applications - the 5-7 months is for non-DRC applications.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Once you're assigned a case officer, they will turn it around in 2 days. Give it 2 weeks and you should be approved! Fingers crossed... let me know if you get it <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

<p>good luck!</p>
