Yep. Submitted documents to agent at just after 5 pm on 14 July. Submitted additional docs (requested) via the agent at about 4:30 pm on 16 July and have been waiting ever since. Yesterday morning I asked the agent about the status (as I do not have access myself) and I was told it was in the "pre-approval" stage.

I'm the same way, except they didn't ask me for any more forms. I probably submitted everything I needed to submit, but it's still in the same pre-approval status.Stephen *******
Just got approved this afternoon, and I know it's easy to say, but just sit tight I guess.

This is still part of their operating hours.. 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM...Stephen *******
I got an email confirming the approval at exactly 14:02 local time, but via an agent, meaning, it could have been approved a little earlier that day but not much.

AmbitiousStarfruit9790 they wanted pay slips. I didn't have any so just sent invoices for three months and a screen shot of my latest payment, which would match the amount on my bank statements.
