Thanks guys..
regarding the tone used on my previous questions, I'm sorry if I seem to be rude or in disbelief.. I just wanted to know a source of info.. since there isn't, it's ok to assume things based on facts posted on previous pages.. and based on the previous pages (I haven't read all of them before, but now I did) we can see some pattern that can be used as evidence that they reached the cap..
About the processing time updated.. well.. it's great that they have updated it.. but on the other hand, it just makes me a little bit more anxious and sad that I won't be able to get the PR before the next summer.. but whatever.. considering I'm somewhere on the 13th month, there will be another 4 months to wait..
Checking for information on CIC, I came accross an article regarding the caps and all (can't post link on this forum apparently). I'll get all the questions that I still have about the article and my specific case, plus the newly updated information regarding the processing time and I'll send an e-mail to my lawyer. I'll post here the relevant parts once he reply the e-mail. I'll also mention some cases of users of this board (of cource, not personal information, just the dates and these things) which have timelines similar to mine as a comparable..
again.. thanks all.. and good luck with your own processes as well
