The current official FAQ describes expedited processing and says the process should take weeks, but it does not guarantee a completion date. A Douro-Dummer applicant should re-check the official page before relying on that estimate or moving money.
Ask what the process actually involves
The appeal of a payment-based route is usually the hope of removing uncertainty, and that hope should be tested against the published process rather than against an intermediary's estimate. The questions are what steps exist, what is assessed at each, and where the decision points fall. A household planning around a school year or a business sale needs a timeline it can defend, and an estimate that cannot be traced to official material is not one.
It is also worth planning explicitly for the possibility that the framework's terms change during the household's own timeline, since that has already happened once. Where a date genuinely cannot move, the household should decide in advance what it would do if this route proved slower or unavailable.
