I'm at 40 business days currently if I'm counting correctly (application went in Feb. 5), still pending approval (US resident, dual US-Canada citizen). I'm not sure how it works, though not certain how US residents would get faster processing, unless they use a weighted system for running the apps that gives US residents higher priority, so the info. is put in faster.
Would seem to be they are likely checking the same databases, etc. so not sure why residency would make a search take longer (or shorter) depending on residency.
