wait until you have exactly 2 weeks (thaiz count that as 15 days but western count it's 2 weeks to the day) or less to apply. I'd say do it around 10 days early,
AND
remember even if it is rejected, you still can do it in person up to a week after the due date so you could do it until the 30th of May without a fine (if you're back up there by then)
