There are plenty of reasons why one’s application reconsideration can be left pending for a long time or a short period. Most of the time the applicants are left with not much consideration for their application to be approved, pending, or denied depending on the size of their application.
Most of these applicants get their reconsideration applications reversed at an earlier decision due to the previously set message by SRD R350.
