Xmas was not a public holiday. I got a little bit nervous because I see people who applied after me but got approved today or last Friday.

LoyalLizard6446 I'm a little bit concerned because I see a lot of people being approved in just 4 days. For instance i just saw this applicant receiving his approval today but submitted his application 1 day after me, i start thinking there's something wrong with my application:
