    I believe that action has already been taken.

    I am back because we need some advise,  my friend's case has been escalated to ombudsman and the investigator who initially worked on it provided update once every 2 months for 4 months but no update since last year October.  Does anyone know if this is normal? the average time ombudsman take to provide outcome and if there is any time limit?
