Applied in April 2010 - 0213 NOC. First AOR received.

[canada77]

Good Morning,

I applied for FSW - 0213 NOC in the month of April 2010. My credit card was charged on 6/1 and I received an email AOR on 6/24. I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone can help me with the answers:

1. I have not taken IELTS. Is that okay considering I have received AOR?

2. What does this AOR means? Is this mere acknoledgement of receipt or approval of the initial review of the application?

3. What are the next steps in terms of document collection? Is there a list of documents available that lists the document that I should start collecting considering I only have 120 days from the date of AOR to submit my application?

Thanks much

Thanks,
Mohan

1. Take it, you need to submit it along with all documents.
2. It means you have 120 days to submit all documents, doesn't it say so in the letter?
3. Gather all your documents within 120 days and submit them to the Visa Office, doesn't it say so in the letter?

Thanks for your blunt reply. It does mention some things in the letter but my questions are beyond the letter, if you carefully read them:

2. What does this AOR means? Is this mere acknoledgement of receipt or approval of the initial review of the application?

Your answer - 120 days to submit the documents, does not answer what I asked. If you don't know fair enough but "it doesn't say so in the letter".

3. What are the next steps in terms of document collection? Is there a list of documents available that lists the document that I should start collecting considering I only have 120 days from the date of AOR to submit my application?

Your answer - "Gather all your documents within 120 days and submit them to the Visa Office, doesn't it say so in the letter?" does not answer my question again.

I thank you for trying to answer my questions but please give a sympathetic reading to ones questions before jumping to conclusions that the original poster has not read the letter.

1. Take it, you need to submit it along with all documents.
2. It means you have 120 days to submit all documents, doesn't it say so in the letter?
3. Gather all your documents within 120 days and submit them to the Visa Office, doesn't it say so in the letter?

Since you did not show us your AOR, I assumed it was the same as everyone received, with very clear and explicit instructions.
Therefore don't mind my first answer, because I have no idea what kind of letter you received.
From your questions it seems that you received some unusual AOR since you are asking such questions.

Below is my AOR:

Just follow the instructions in the AOR email that you have received. There is no impact due to recent changes. If at all it is going to affect anything, CIO will send revised communication directly to applicants like you and me.

The only suggestion I can give is to send Full Application to your Visa Office as soon as possible.

Good Morning,

I applied for FSW - 0213 NOC in the month of April 2010. My credit card was charged on 6/1 and I received an email AOR on 6/24. I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone can help me with the answers:

1. I have not taken IELTS. Is that okay considering I have received AOR?

2. What does this AOR means? Is this mere acknoledgement of receipt or approval of the initial review of the application?

3. What are the next steps in terms of document collection? Is there a list of documents available that lists the document that I should start collecting considering I only have 120 days from the date of AOR to submit my application?

Thanks much

Thanks,
Mohan

Hi Canada77,
I would like to help you with the list of documents to be submitted, but the only problem is that I submitted to Damascus Visa Office, while you will submit to ND Visa Office, and sometimes the documents that are needed differs from one visa office to the other, but anyway if you think I can add any value to your case please send me an IM and I will be more than happy to share with you what I have sent.

Regards,

With Old rules IELTS was not required at CIO stage but is needed for CHC. Please take it so that you can submit the Original results with all documents with in 120 days from AOR issue date

2. What does this AOR means? Is this mere acknoledgement of receipt or approval of the initial review of the application?
It is approval after initial review of application. Detail review will start at CHC and all documents will be verified along with background check and security check

3. What are the next steps in terms of document collection? Is there a list of documents available that lists the document that I should start collecting considering I only have 120 days from the date of AOR to submit my application?
I am assuming your Visa office is New Delhi, please check the list of docs from following link
