Is it possible to get a CM title in two years?

Could I get the CM title by the end of 2025 (With the current rating that is)? Is it possible to even go further or is it unlikely? How much I'm expected to be dedicated to meet the expectations? Just approximately and in average, not something so specific.

Nah, it's okay, it's just that I saw someone with my rating 2 years ago (a bit higher) who got FM few days ago.
What's your FIDE rating? I'd estimate you around 1600, just wondering why your blitz is so low

Yeah, that's the problem, and actually the reason I am asking. I have literally sent my federation an email two weeks ago for a registration, and I haven't gotten a single reply. So I just want to understand things from provisional way...

For my blitz and bullet, it's because I've been playing rapid for so long and rarely bullet and blitz. I just can't adjust them together right now, but I'm trying the past few months.
It took me 23 years, so good luck. The hundred Euro turned out to be the minor issue ...
By the way, you cannot contact the FIDE as an individual. You have to file something at/with your federal organization. BCF, USCF, DSB.

2200 Elo, go and get yourself a telescope.

It quite rare to gain more 100 points a year but everyone is different. Conctacting you federation may not produce resulta as typically federation only take clubs/associations as members. But this varies from country to country but quite possibly reason they are not answering.
If you are example 12 yrs old and 1600 fide then everything is possible, but if you are example 40 yrs old and stabile rating of 1600 fide, its impossible. If you are example 30 yrs old and 2000 fide its still possible.

Is it the thing similar to thing form that asks about your passport, etc? I have already filled one, and emailed them again to remind them to check it. No response in the end though.

Well, I was at least expecting a refusal if that's the case, but I am not getting any response in the first place

I just became 16 years old, and I specified '2 years' as after 18 pretty sure I would rarely have any time for improvements, and will just play for fun. I'm also thinking of grabbing a coach once the 2 month vacation arrives...Do you think it's possible, or it's just too hard?
