I've given up waiting, my assumed 30 days BF is on Mar 19th. I got additional info request on 18 Feb and the letter said I must provide within 30 days of this letter. FUCK! 30 day to review a form is obserd especially when we are able to upload via web form vice snail mail!
Don't Give up just yet. I think mine is about the same day. I see someone just got through with SA exactly 30 days from their Assumed SA date. so it looks like that when we might hear something. I'm frustrated as well because we are going to be about a month behind everyone else. I've just come to accept that and keep trodding along. Keep busy until next week. :)

Don’t give up! I just got my SA approval today after 59 days (have been a nervous wreck for the past few weeks). The wait is frustrating and its nerve racking to see applications received at the end of the month already approved while all you can do is sit and wait. It’s a difficult process for us all.

Hi all. Just wanted to update if this helps anyone - it is hard being patient! I received notification on 02-20-2020 that our case was moved to the Mississauga VISA office and up to today we still haven't received AOR2. However yesterday I received a request for an additional document from a case worker at the Mississauga VISA Office. I wouldn't worry if you have been transferred to the Mississauga VISA Office and haven't received AOR2. It seems as though they are working on our cases and may skip this step.

FYI if anyone is requested to provide additional docs - I sent the docs to the e-mail specified in the letter the same day (yesterday) and my account on GCKey already says they have been uploaded to our account. So things seem to move rather quickly over there. Good luck!

They don't always come at the same time, Sometimes a day or few...Sometimes months depending on the VO. Yes it's SA...That letter will be separate as well. Congrats.

i would quickly check what the timeline for other people from your PA's country's timelines have been. the medical request depends on which VO your application is sent to. ours was sent to nairobi, and for this VO, the medical request usually happens several months after the biometric request. i was freaking out why it hadn't come a week after the biometrics request, and then found out we were being processed through nairobi...

Uploading is quick and easy, but the status "We are reviewing your documents" will take over a month. I have been sitting "Uploaded Documents" status for close to 2 weeks now.
