Hi Laststeps,
I also read about that applicant but there are 3 exceptions with this case
1)The principal applicant and his wife are Iranis
2)There was a medical furtherance test (TB test) done by PA.
3)The wife of PA worked as a secretary in a company that is going through FBI checks due to some reasons.
Moreover every case is unique and you cannot predict your timelines according to them.In fact there were many 2007 applicants who got PPR after almost 1-3 months of doing their medicals.
So be positive and relax,finally you will receive your visa this summer inshallah
