801 Grant: 18 Feb 2019 (8 Months after 801 Eligibility)

Current Official 801 Processing times are quoted as 21:26 months (ie: 75% done in under 21 months and 90% done in under 26 months, for January 2019).

The above examples show the averages at 19:22 months.
ie:
75% took under 19 months
90% took under 22 months
BUT
33% took 9 months or under
55% took 12 months or under

So, even with what seems a high time frame, over half took under 12 months.
