Does the fact that we're going to be moving to having immigration officers making that decision not concern you? In some cases when immigration officers make a decision on something like a visitor visa, or an immigration application on which you have the right to appeal within 30 days, the decision is final. Some of our immigration officers are greatly talented people, but some of them, if they get out on the wrong side of the bed--too bad.
