I noted that some of you who applied more recently already had your plastic. She said they hired a bunch more people and assigned some to start working new requests while the rest work the backlog. So, naturally, some of the most recent folks will get cards first. (That explains the roulette wheel.) It's been 80 days, and not sure where my wife is in the queue.toddbeck wrote:So grateful for your reports, folks. My wife's application went in 12/30 and no response yet. I've been calling (usually early morning and mid-day) for a couple of weeks but always get the "we're too busy to talk (click, hang up)" message. But if others in late December are still waiting, then hopefully her app didn't get lost. I don't mind the delay. I mind not at least having confirmation that they have everything. (Never got that email, either.)
Thanks for keeping us informed of your progress!
LTC arrived today 25MAR2016. So 86 days from application to plastic. Coincidence that I finally got through to the telephone line last week and suddenly it's processed? Maybe. Or maybe she had been "lost" somehow and was kicked into the faster queue. Squeaky wheel...
