The current processing time for applications is approximately 16 weeks. Applications are evaluated in the order in which they enter “ready for review” status. If your application was already evaluated, and it re-enters “ready for review” status, it will take approximately 16 additional weeks from that date for it to be re-evaluated. Please note that this estimate is approximate; actual processing times may vary.
