Why do some application processing times change and others do not?
The number of applications we receive for each program can affect processing times.
Some programs get a similar number of applications each month. Their processing times don’t change often.
Other programs get a different number of applications throughout the year. For some of these programs, you can only apply during certain times of the year. This can cause processing times to change often.
