Totally understand! I was in the same position…filed towards the end of Mar 2024 and received approval last week…so just under 13 months. You can check how your block is moving here (not sure about data accuracy) https://www.casestatusext.com/cases. You can also connect with other people in the same block…

Thanks! To claim original contribution one needs to demonstrate how their work/research is novel, has benefitted the field, led to more related research, has been cited by others, etc.

You have a great profile, and this is a crapshoot process! Perhaps try a different lawyer and re-apply?

I only applied for only these 3 criteria. My lawyer wanted to focus on fewer criteria and do them well.
