Glad to hear there is an explanation. I see that you are really helpful around here and I am on the "rooting for Toby" team.

Congratulations! When did you apply? Today makes 13 days for me...I know I am just being impatient though ::)

exactly

haha I have some amazing assistants....I mainly do litigation so my busiest times are when I have to prep for court...I am definitely NOT like most lawyers and maybe that is still why I love my job so much...don't hate. :P

Yea, I am becoming increasingly positive that many of these CIC reps do not fully know what they are suppose to know

Agreed with what you said minus a few choice words of course :). And to the person saying we have to "trust" this officers...granted, most of them know what they are doing but immigration law at the appellate level won't be booming if they all knew what they were doing. Sometimes they do...

Good to know! :D

I am equally perplexed...if it is suppose to be based on "pass/fail" requirements, then I am even more stumped as it seems that this VO is taking it upon his or herself to decide that you are not qualified for a job you were hired to do....it seems like it could be appealed at the very least.

I don't mind waiting either...I think most of the september applicants who got MRs where the ones who applied early to Mid September...I do not see us getting MRs for another two weeks....and since I applied at the very end of October, I see mine taking another month or so. But as long as I get...

Wow so it took only 12 days...that's really fast! Congrats!! :)

Usually it is a year but like a poster above me said....it has happened before

LOLOLOL

I also doubt it is from CIC..although nothing surprises me anymore. That is why forums like this are very important...I have never heard of this particular kind of scam before

lol psshhh...we will let your guys have this one..

Cheers!

Someone said that it might be better to go by date AOR was received as opposed to the date you applied. I applied Oct 28 but received my AOR mid december. Some people who applied on the same day somehow received theirs about two weeks before me...so I am expecting that IF (or when..hopefully) I...

LOL BOOOOOO!!! I am a Chelsea fan and yea um...I should probably be working as well ;)

Yes you can...for sure

Like Toby said, as long as you have your AOR, you can apply for a BOWP. You do not need any LMOs or anything like that so it makes no difference if your company "encourages" you or not.
