I agree with you on this... But interestingly there aren't many applicants from August, sep oct who are getting any updates from LVO... Which makes me wonder if aug/ sep applicant aren't getting MR there is hardly any chance we'll move up the queue.
The timelines of couple of feb/mar 2012 guys suggests LVO took 6+ months to send MR and that scares me... I was hoping my case will be done and dusted in 6-8 months and I'll be able to make it before the school year starts and my kids won't have to miss the year... But now it seems if I get the MR by June I should count myself Lucky
