Now still awaiting my Pta approval which was lodged 24/7/19. Hopefully the Pta doesn't become another issue. I was also told that there are a few other people in the same situation as me. So best of luck guys, the wait will be worth it... one day ha.

It's quite likely that WLB is falling further behind in backlog processing than ever before and it will get a lot worse before it starts to get better (if it ever does), people receiving their license in a mere 15 weeks may soon be considered the lucky ones on some sort of fast track.
