Anybody experiencing a very long time to have your application processed? I sent my PAL/RPAL application in 82 days ago and individual web services shows that they haven’t even gotten to mine yet. Is this a normal timeline?

Edit: You guys were pretty spot on, I just got my approval at almost exactly the 3 month mark.

I submitted mine in April and got it last week with zero calls for contacts and no hold ups. It just took forever and mine was an upgrade from pal to rpal

I’m glad to hear there were no hiccups on your end my friend. I’m really hoping I get mine soon, I’m worried that there is some kind of error lol.
