Believe me, I am taking it easy. I still haven't called after 36 days. By the end of this week, it would be 40 days since I submitted my application. I see applicants start calling after 2 weeks. It seems to me though if we don't bug them, they wouldn't budge, especially if you put "unknown" as your travel date, which is what I did unfortunately.
You are right! It's always better to give them a call since they might not call back even if there's a problem.

When did you call? At what time? You didn't have to wait long. I am expecting to find 400+ callers ahead of me, and waiting 1.5-3 hours. I am thinking of calling today.
I support the idea to call them. For my case, if I did not call them, I would not know there was a small issue need to be fixed by having the guarantor called them to confirm the date of his signature on the copy of ID.

How long did you have to wait to talk to an agent?

I think by 20 business days processing time it means from the time cc is charged, that's why it takes long these days.
This is deceiving, if it's true. They should be clear with this, like 20 business days after we open and verify your file.
