As far as I know, the average time to obtain a LMO is 3-4 months, I spent much time on the study of the process.
But 7 months is pointless. There must be the order of acquisition of the item, because in the latter case it would be unprofessional and unfair to the applicants. Employers often make a mistake in the application, and must re-apply but it's hard to admit it, but there are major flaws with the case officers also. I specifically wait 6 months, guess where the error occurred, but can not do anything. Just wait, be correct, be fair to fulfill mine part of the deal with future employers, but in the meantime I got some good offers that I turned down because I have a deal. Only relocation is a stressful process, and the preparation and when the error occurs for an administrator who is not able to further study the process becomes stressful.
