Application sent: April 8th

Application received: April 12th

CC charged: July 14th

Honestly faster than I expected. Now the wait for it to arrive in the mail...

just wondering how did you know the application was received? Did you mail with tracking or was it from the online portal that was showing the received status? I mailed in my application 2 weeks ago but no file has been created online. I regret for not mailing in with tracking so now I am worried whether my application actually got to them

I sent it with normal snail mail as well, no tracking. The online portal shows when it was received, however it will only show once they open your envelope and charge your CC/process whatever payment type you chose.

I had the same fear as you for about 3 months until I saw the charge in my CC statement.
