I thought "holy shit! if it keeps going at this rate, I'll be in line to be up to date in a year or year and a half so worst case, I'd be out of a driver's license (my state license expired some time in 2011 and I wasn't able to renew) for just a few months.

Then all of a sudden they retrogressed them (a term I was not familiar with until then) by 2 years. so all of a sudden it went back to near 5-6 years AND on top of that, for the next 6 months or so, it didn't move a single month. When it finally started moving again, it would move one week for every month. Now, some 4 years later, it's finally starting to move again 1.5 months for every month.

I'm happy that it's moving faster but I'm afraid it will get close to my PD and all of a sudden retrogress again. Currently, I am exactly 3 years behind.
