I think 21 years is a long wait...maybe I am impatient though.

Of course they have a waiting time, EVERY application has a waiting time. They don't have to wait for a number to become available but they still have to wait for the processing, and the 21 years before they are eligible.

6 weeks is still a wait though. Are you sure that was for the entire thing and not just the first part?
