Be advised the process can take quite a while. I got mine in May and it was a good month and a half. Hopefully, we'll see an announcement today that'll give you more than plenty time.

I did it recently. Took a month and a half. Lost a bit of time due to bankers being wankers. But there is no way I could've made it in a month.

So, there is a bit of uncertainty if starting the process now.

I totally get that mate. Hoping for (and, as said, kinda expecting) good news soon.
