Finally some sense with the folks at CASA amved department.
Don't believe it, last 30ish years never been under six weeks. Last time they said they couldn't look at it for one month, they rang 60 days after my medical and all required tests were sent at. I have had others tests requested like a kidney scan because I had a kidney stone over thirty years ago with no recurrence.
