Post# of 85562
2 THINGS: It all depends when he filed
Second thing, I follow a group of companies from https://www.ssmmonopolycorp.com/ and they tell you when they filed the application for there companies and when they got accepted. Few of those companies got approved in 2-3 weeks. Check it out for yourself.
So there is plenty of hope here.
