Do you have any idea how long Ankara is taking to process SOWPs?

I'm in some WhatsApp groups of applicants from India, and according to their inputs, applications in India are being processed withing 6-8 weeks. Lots of early Oct applications already cleared!

Hey, do you have any new updates? Unfortunately, nothing from my side.
Do you have know of any Facebook or Whatsapp groups of Turkish applicants? All the groups that I know of are primarily Indian applicants.
