We submitted our application in early December and haven’t heard anything at all. Is anyone else in this situation? Also, when/if we get approval what happens next? Thanks! Margaret

> Now that the biometrics seem to be moving again, I thought it may help to create a tracking thread for the times it took for pre-approval with the SEF as well, like the thread around the SEF Appointment thread. Applied and paid: October 25, 2021 SEF Pre-approval: February 21, 2022 Can any others that applied in the last year or so share their application and pre-approval dates? I think I have read a couple of posts here and there - some at 2 months, and some at 6+ months. Recent data would be…

It has a myriad of information and discussions about the wait times, subsequent steps, etc.

Good luck!
