I don't know if you have considered calling a witness from the UNHCR, but they would have very good information about that. I don't know what the turnaround times are for other refugee-receiving countries. Whether they're faster, I really couldn't tell you. It would only be anecdotal. I have heard that places like New Zealand, for example, are faster, but it's purely anecdotal.
