First of all, I had some concern about the wording in the motion itself. You say in line 3, if I read correctly, “and other relevant witnesses to enquire into ever-increasing processing times related to immigration timelines from posts around the world”. Before you have done any studies, you have already presumed they are ever-increasing. Coming from the research world, I think you don't fix your conclusion first before you go to find out whether it's true or not. So that alone has already created some challenges from me. If you want to find out something, you don't pre-assume it's ever-increasing.
