Thread: FAL application turn around time frames

Early August - Personal and partner interview (Get your safe in asap, be humble but show some knowledge)
Mid August - Reference interviewed (Choose a good quality mate on your form!)
21th August - Approved (Great end for a crap Monday...)
Now just waiting impatiently for the official card...

My time line was very similar to this and I'm in Gizi where stuff tends to take a bit longer generally.
