As my time is not up, I will raise one more topic, if that is okay.

I want to go back to that issue of critical skills and people being able to bring their families here. The IMO was saying that it seems fairly standard now that people are waiting for up to a year. I am sure that there are people waiting far longer than that in some instances. Something that jumped out at me is that they are waiting a year for a decision but, I believe, the rejection rate is quite high. What is it?
