5/6 weeks seems to be the go if all goes well. I posted my paperwork on Jan 5 - have yet to hear or see anything. They took my money on Jan 16 (if I recall).
I did send the certified copy of my pilot's licence - that I previously paid good money to have my pic put on.
I suspect having an expired ASIC is better than no ASIC at all. If you get sprung, play dumb!
