Yes finally. I received my confirmation/approval on the 3rd of Feb. Same thing for me I received the receipt notice instantly, but it took about 18-19 days for them to confirm the next step. I called them beforehand asking if there was a problem with any of my information and they said that they haven't started the back-round check process yet. I'm assuming they are receiving more submissions and they might not have the staff to make it go as fast but eventually mine got confirmed and my beneficiary received their email 2 days after my confirmation.
