DOHA is processing priority occupations expeditiously, I presume for a cap of grants of priority occupations to fill, after which they give grants to non-priority occupations and fill that for the rest of the allocations for the FY. Given that DOHA has a huge backlog of applications to process:
Those who will get invites this FY, where do they stand?
