I know how you feel, I was lucky enough to get operators that would tell me something, since I also am the one being sponsored, the first time the lady confirmed they received it June 8th, and they started processing it July 19th. I just called back friday an the guy said 2-3 weeks. I believe he's wrong, since he told me they're working on apps past the date mine was received but idk. Frustrating, because it seems they just want to skip people. whats so much more complicated about people from the beginning of the month.
