Hi PR,
I empathise with your frustration completely as I have undergone and am undergoing the same!! My wife and I applied on Oct 1, 2011 and had an IELTS hurdle in Jan 2011. We cleared that and hoped that things will be fine soon. But then, we got 2nd AOR and RBVO from April 7, 2011... And since then the wait was unending again... The saaaame status for 8 months... Forget the 6 months that had already passed before that!! We kept checking E-CAS all the time... Made general inquiry and CSE... Ordered GCMS twice... Kept tracking others' applications... which was even more frustrating coz people who applied even much after us were getting MRs / Visas / were landing... We had become frustrated and hopeless... So much so that lately we decided not to check E-CAS too often so as to avoid daily frustration after seeing the same RBVO... But then... one morning was different... suddenly, unexpectedly... That was Dec 5, 2011... We checked it just BY CHANCE... in the afternoon... and it was IN PROCESS and said that processing started Dec 2... We were elated, shocked, surprised, happy, what not!!!
With this story I only mean to say that I and many others like us who have waited for damn long, understand you and are with you... Also that, all said and felt, we have nothing in hands except patience and hope... though that is the most difficult part... And lastly, that keep believing that any morning can be different and new... any time!!
So, please keep up your spirit... and pray for the best... Lots of people are with you in the wait... You will soon hear great news!!! All the very best to you, to everyone who are waiting and to me and my wife, as well
Best,
