Residence Visa rumor

Hi,

I have the following question: I heard the rumor (know, that there are always rumors ;-) ), that currently there has been a stop to give out resident visas (at least for management positions).

Could be happened it was over rammadan (or somebody confused it with the ban during february), but just wanted to know, if you heard (or experienced) something similar in the last 1-2 months?

Thanks and BR
