@taremam_bhai: not sure what's causing the delay but it looks like people who applied right after TPS was announced got theirs approved soon, but the rest (us) who applied in August or later are still pending because of processing delays due to high volume of applications. Nov-Dec. holidays could be another reason for the delays.
A friend of mine, who also applied about a month before me got TPS approval notice 8-10 days ago. So I guess it's just moving slow...we'll get there, hopefully in 2-3 weeks
