I can say that 80% of the cases will be processed within a year. There are some older cases that have residence questionnaires attached to them that we're dealing with as quickly as possible. For any new cases we try to be more targeted in the information we request. Sometimes we ask for information about a specific period of time, a specific employment, rather than issue a residence questionnaire. But sometimes it is necessary to do that and that does add some time onto the processing.
