thats what i tray to explain my family members and some other friends by keep waiting for visa from last 3 yrs for aus and 1 yr and 4 months...
"age does not stop for the issue of visas"
without PR u can't do anything ....life sucks....
Immigration applications should not take more than 6 months if the countries want to get the best out of the applicants.
It is in everybody's interest to know if they are in or out early enough. The delays causes everyone to live in animated suspension.
By the time you spend so many years to get your visa, your enthusiasm becomes seriously diminished and the excitement is lost.
I do hope they will improve the process. It is more than just getting a visa but more of being able to take advantage of the opportunities awaiting to create a decent life.
I wish all, the best.
