Well you could well be right but it wouldn’t be the government holding it up.
Perhaps the department pointing out further info was required as stated. But that would be from forward processing of the English submission.
If it was. What would it be? It’s all been discussed at some depth prior to this submission between the department and the company. So the company knew what was required to get passed. Could it be a minor detail or major overlook? Im guessing if I said minor detail. But only based on the fact that the company is delaying and using the translation excuse perhaps. Much like they could be using the delay to tie up a lose string. Which wouldn’t sound major if they were doing that.
Again I am guessing at worst case and going on what we have. But either way translation would still be one of these requirements outstanding. No one knows. We are all guessing at this point and falling into suspicion that causes the downtrend witnessed.
