I sent additional WhatsApp call logs and chat screenshots. I guess they just wished to see if there is continuing communication between sponsor and PA after submitting the application.

Perfect I did the same too besides , I traveled to be with my spouse over Christmas so did send travel tickets,passport stamps entry and exit and a photo story of our time together. Hopefully this should suffice.

Nice!! Wishing you a fast process as well!
Does everyone receive the Pre-Arrival letter? Hope to get that letter soon! Haven't heard anything from them for more than a month now.

Thanks @gercan !

I believe everyone gets Pre-Arrival services letter. However, some get it shortly before DM/PPR, some get it a couple of months before DM/PPR and some applicants receive this letter at the same time as their COPR. Not consistent as each case differs, of course. Plus - they will do everything to confuse us, haha! But I see @schweisy is very determined to figure out the system and predict our completion dates!

Does time gap between PPR request and Decision Made varies with principal applicant from different countries? Why is it too different with all the applicants?

I gave up trying to understand the patterns Some people like myself flew through extremely fast but others were slower, even without any additional docs needed etc. Maybe I got the fast agent or the one that doesn't care much.

Mine were submitted on the 23rd (Saturday) and updated to passed on the 25th (Monday).

Were your medicals done by a physician with the eMedical system, they take your picture at the Medical with this system.

Amen, every case is different and they’re all handled by different agents so it looks as if it’s luck of the draw.

Please don't say that just in case these threads are being monitored. We want the same officer as you, he shouldn't get fired.

Any US applicants get asked for Additional Docs and have their AOR2 or Pre-Arrival Services letter yet? (not sure if its the same thing)

Hey saddlepatch, I got AOR2 after an e-mail asking for additional documentation. Just about finished compiling it into one document to send. So annoying since FB messenger can't let you search by date. At least we switched to Discord a year and a half after the start of our relationship and you can search by date there so that part is easy.

Anybody get ppr after getting DM on march 16??
Waiting for Ppr email
DM on march 16
File transfer - 27

AOR2 is the acknowledgement of receipt by the Visa office. It also shows as line 2 on your PA's ECAS stating 'we started processing your application on xxxx' .

Pre-arrival is sent when they complete the eligibility check on the PA. Did your GCKEY update that they received your additional docs?

Yes, Sir! It says "We are reviewing the additional documents you've sent"
