I'm also waiting. I was mis-diagnosed for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM). Went to see a specialist who's an expert on HCM and he gave me a clean bill of health. My paperwork went in first week of April.

If you submit everything they need and in the correct format, and the results are acceptable for the condition, it should take around 2-3 months max. They are pretty good at taking your calls for updates in my experience.
