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.

Mine was 3 months to the day, I noticed that pattern with other people too. You are close to that mark.
