I am not sure this is accurate. In fact when I applied (App received 18th Sept 2017), processing time was 16 months. They increased it to 19 months a few months later. How would a December 2017 applicant see a lower processing time than us? If anything, it should be increased.The thing is that the app from Dec towards are in the process time of 15-19m, where the rest of us are at 19m
