Yes. My initial late filing was approved on Dec 27th 2016. Details:

Mail sent: Oct 27th
Case received: Nov 3rd / 7th (don't remember exactly)
Biometrics on: Dec 1st
Approval staus: Dec 27th
Card received within a week.

Hope this helps.
I feel like applications are case specific. I have friends who applied for re-registration not approved yet.
