The first one is applicable. I was short of approx. 50 days. I am not sure your assumption is correct as mistakes can happen and this does not mean Forever.
If you applied short of 1,095, your file needs to be approved by a judge. Most of the times, your file will sit on the table of Sir/Madam Busy, as this is beyond the control of CIC.
Well, forever doesn't mean never ends, but so far we heard about some people got it in 6 months, etc; But we NEVER heard about judge in Race Mode, always Wet Mode (slow). Sorry to say this, most of the case gone to judge, ended up so long. I hope yours will be finalized soon.
To ease your boring while waiting, put it this way : It tastes the same with PR, it's just a license to vote and Visa-s waiver, everything else is the same.
