I have my AOR July 10th. Still no PPR, waiting is anxious, agree. Especially when you see great progress with other apps (which is a very good thing anyway).
Still haven't managed to call them, but will try to do this (though, I agree that it should not eat all of our time as there are other things we can do instead).
I had 2 GUs:
Beginning of Jan.
Beginning of Feb.
I suspect that my eligibility was passed in Feb due to lots of documents my wife and me have provided to prove our work experience (we are both from Ukraine and work in High Tech industry. In our country, most of the employees are employed as individual contractors. Hence, we provided contracts, tax declarations, invoices, bank statements, etc. Hence, I think it took more time to confirm all of this).
