Gotcha! That's what I figured.The only reason I'd have for rushing it would be that I want to keep working, but I'm sure people have much more serious reasons to get theirs escalated. And my career isn't anything that's in demand/shortage. I did upload a cover letter asking for quick processing, and my MP has someone from their office looking into it on my behalf. We'll see!
