I think that is a bit harsh. My suggestion is to leave them in the queue, and not process them (i.e. hand them over to an AM) until they find an advocate. A weekly/monthly auto-remider might be sent to the applicant reminding them of this situation. Sometimes, it might take an applicant more than 4 weeks to get advocated, and by booting them out, we might potentially turn off a good applicant.
