Continuing fun with visas

As many of you may know, I (Rob) originally applied for a visa back in July of 2008.  There are have been many delays due to changes in immigration policy since then.  We have just received news from our immigration lawyer that the end may be in sight.  Apparently the immigration department is now working on applications from May of 2008.  That's right, it only 59 months to process an application!!  At this rate, I  should have a permanent residency visa in the next 2-3 months.  Unless immigration policy changes again :-(
