Yea it's a new application but the way she scoffed was so funny like it seemed like she was offended that someone was asking just sounded like a lazy individual.

Once you see something online, then you wait an additional month or so for it to be approved and sent to your house.

Mine updated to "we'll contact you if you need more information etc etc" a few weeks ago, I sent my application a few months ago. Does that mean I'm only a couple months away from it being approved?

Damn, I hope I'm that lucky. It's been about a month since they've charged my card and I still haven't heard anything - my references haven't been contacted either. I applied on paper and had to tick one of the boxes if that matters, but they haven't contacted me to ask for any additional info related to that either.

I'm thinking maybe I could call them at the end of the month and make sure I haven't missed any mail or anything like that. I initially submitted my application back in October/November, but they sent it back because I missed a tick box and I resent it in like late November/early December, so thus far it seems to be 'on time' given some people are waiting like 7 months on average.
