Hi,
I am with Melanie and it did not take long at all. If I can rermember rightly it was about 3 weeks each for both processes you mention. Melanies staff are more than welcoming to your queries so do not worry about that. If you have any questions regarding the process and your case please do not be afraid to ask them, they are there to help you.
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."
