you didn't take a look recently on their website or??

for skilled workers in the EDS its right now April 29, 2016 and later

and yes it was so long befor they made a temporary pause on application intake between August 27, 2015 and January 27, 2016
after that date they got fast and faster to process the applications

Yes but it still doesn't say how many months it will take. But somewhere I read also it would be 13-15 months, and that is long as well. I was assuming that they would process all applicants in 6-8 months.

Thank you for your reply. It seems that those processing times are taking a lot time, but it's better to apply already and wait.

In 2013 we got nominations in one month time. Now job market is dull due to oil crisis and taking more time?

I think the processing time depends on the volume of the application of the category you are applying.
