Backlog from waiting for one or two years?

I don't know if you are questioning the basic premise of the article,
but for me it is old news, the visa restrictions have been written
about in the last years in all of the periodicals to which I subscribe.
For example,  Physics today was printing a new report on the visa
restrictions every few months. Nature and  Science and The Economist
have printed  articles once in a while on this topic too. You should
be able to find more information on the web.

Have a good weekend.
