They told me seven to fourteen days , but it was done in eight ! So if they now have all information it shouldn't take long now !

They probably have a bit of a backlog as they closed for a few days to allow Thais to vote. Closed again on the 9th to count the votes

Processing is about five working days, and the clock resets after submitting additional documents
