You can "do something" on day 1 and then be faced with "we need to inform X person and they will need reasonable time to respond" and then person X says "OK, but I need to inform person Y and they need reasonable time to respond" and on it goes. All organisations are like this, you ask a question that seems simple and they respond with "yes, I will do that by the end of next week" it's just how it goes. Every legal matter needs two week response times, and after that two weeks the response can be "we have some clarification questions we need answered before we can finalise the response, please send your answers, you have two weeks" and then the clock restarts. For anything there is probably a minimum of 8 weeks just for a simple matter, but for anything that needs people to be notified or served, probably longer.

That said, the frustration is shared.
