I am not suggesting they are doing it unnecessarily. They are slow walking it for a reason and that is to give themselves the best shot at approval. In fact, it’s very likely that they have received some hint from the agency folks too, but obviously they are not going to say it out loud or PR that! ;)

Otherwise I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t have been in a position to apply as soon as they received MIA in late March. At that point, they would have had 30 months to prepare from the data lock stage. In short, we should have received UK application acceptance PR no later than May.

No point wasting months preparing and reviewing modules for other agencies particularly in the first few months of this year when they must have known that MIA was coming anytime in Feb-March time frame. They should have ensured that UK application was submitted in April. Then they could have continued working on finishing modules for other agencies once UK application was submitted. I mean they are struggling to keep the lights on so why wouldn’t they want to start building trust and excitement around UK acceptance right away.

The only logical conclusion is they are waiting on one of these things to line up, which is expected early next year. So they are utilizing that window to prepare additional modules and are reviewing them at the same time.
