I knocked out my IFC last year. I reached out in January, did all my tests and appointments in Feb/Mar, then met with the flight doc on 2 April. My IFC didn't get stamped until the end of July, and it wasn't sent to me until the first week of August. That was without any waivers and I was still nervous with the timing. Hopefully a pending medical isn't used to trim down the number of applicants that are pushed.
