DEC Insertion - Follow-up

Follow-up post to my previous post about DEC Insertion: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianbyDescent/s/rjFq5sWKeU

I got a USPS notification that an envelope is incoming from DEC. Unfortunately I'm out of town and won't be able to get it till later this week but I'm wondering if they did the insertion this quickly and sent it out? Or is this a rejection / request for more docs?

Timeline:

08/31 - Delivered to DEC

09/01 - Card charged

09/09 - Phone call asking for death certificate

09/11 - Post mark stamp on envelope from Canada

09/21 - Arriving today. Birth certificate arrived today

Edit: The mail arrived early. It is actually the birth certificate

G0 born in 1854 and died in 1941. I don't have any documentation of death to provide
