    Just sent off our final DYS application.

    Fingers duly crossed.

    Good luck, Dandy!

    I got the email today that they have his completed application and it will be forwarded to the review committee on the 14th. They said it will take "at least 3-4 weeks".

    Does that sound right to those who have been through the process? I thought it was 4 weeks at the latest.

    Good luck to everyone who is applying! As for how long it takes, their estimate was accurate in our case.

    That's odd -- I just sent the application today ...and I got a call from them saying they'd call me back on the morning of the 14th with their final decision.

    OK... Maybe that wasn't as funny as I thought... sorry.

    I'm not a very good "waiting" kind of person -- and I've never really bought into that whole "Patience is Virtue" line.

    Maybe if I call them every day... followed by some regular email...

    Dandy - Just not used to your dry humor yet! Doesn't translate over the internet very well. Your emoticon in the posting icon should have given me a clue.

    Ok, it took me a minute, lol. I'm with you on the waiting! Though from what I understand, they just recently started emailing confirming application receipt and then their decisions, so we have less waiting than other people did.

    *druming fingers on table* soooo...is it time yet??
