“Mine didn’t take time, thankfully. But I have seen others in this situation and they’ve been complaining that it has taken them a very long time. Mine was between a month and two. But for some, it’s stretching from nine months to a year now. This is not telling well on them. But I believe they are doing their best. Hopefully, they get to settle these people.”
