I am so sorry to hear rejection news from polestar707. I would recommend a new application for now .. never give up.
About, my first application that reached CIO on Nov. 22, 2012. on early May, I received a proof of fund request and respond to it several times, but till now I did not get a confirmation that the documents or copies of my documents were attached to my application package yet. On early June, I mentioned that the documents were sent via both mail and email. They received the email but did not print it nor attach it to my application package. They waited my documents via mail as they prefer originals but they never received the mail. As a result, no documents were attached to my application. On the end of June, I received a final request for the proof of fund. I sent an email and asked them to print it and attach the documents to my application package. I did not receive any acknowledgement nor confirmation that they received my documents. I am worried I will miss the final request deadline and my application will be rejected for that reason while they already received my email and did not print it nor attach it to my application package. I ordered the CAIPS today and asked them again hopefully everything will be clear in few days before the deadline.
I guess that if everything goes good, I hope to receive the medical request in a month. As table shows, they are working on applications of Nov., 2012. Correct me if I am wrong?
