Mine was received on the 31st of May, check was cashed on the 26th, both references and I were contacted on the 26th as well. Should be soon

Wow... That is really lucky. I waited almost 3 months on mine, with me calling in to bug them, too!

But, nothing has ever been more worth the wait, ever. :-P

My buddy (54 years old) has been getting the run around for 6 months from the wonderful people at the CFC. I think they must just pick names at random to see how long it'll take for them to complain to their MP's. If they delay his any further, I'll make the appointment with his MP myself and go with him.

Mine was in my mailbox on the 28th or 29th day from when they received my application

Holy smokes! and I thought mine was going fast. Still don't have it in hand, it just says it's been issued so we'll see how long it takes to get it now.

Sorry to hear about your buddies process blacksmithden, sucks they dick some guys around like that. Best of luck to you in getting your MP involved, I've heard that can bring about results.
