Pretty random. Some get lucky and get it done in 1 to 2 weeks. Some are held up for 4 months or more.

Just keep watching your case progress on ustraveldocs. Really not much else you can do. Don't email them because that will slow you down as they must pull your file out of the work in progress pile each time you do that.

One thing is for sure: Use the exact method of getting docs to them that they tell you to use (usually 2Go). Even if something else is faster, like DHL, DHLwill actually slow you down because they will be looking for your docs at 2Go and not at DHL or anything else.
