S56 request for 186 — how long for a response?

Subclass 186

How long does it take to hear back after you submit the s56 (request for more information)? Mine's been three weeks and I'm anxious it's holding everything up.

For me it was about 6 weeks after I uploaded the s56 docs before the CO looked again. No news is normal news.
