A question for 7th Nov 2024 Invites.

Did all of you (who don't live in IRAN) get your visas or comments or majority of non-priorities are still left? cuz mine took almost a year and no comment, no grant, no nothing! it feels like 190 than 189. I was wondering if it's because of Iran gov mess up causing the delay for Iranian visas or it's general regardless of political matters.

More of a question about history here: When did early childhood, primary, and secondary teachers, nurses, allied health professionals, and social workers became the so-called priority occupations? Around 2019/2020, 2022, or earlier or later?
