I think we can also share an approximate application number. I don't know if it makes sense, but here is my point. For example, mine is close to E 80'000. At the same time one of my peers, who got PER in Jan 2013, has a number close to E 102'000. It means that in 8 months they accepted 22k applications of this type (I guess). Can somebody elaborate if "E" is given to all skilled worker applications? Also if we guys who were recently approved can share their approximate number, we can forecast the pace. Thanks
