Quiet day again. At least one AOR though!

As for Julie, I have no idea what that means. Seems you have a very keen IO working on your case. eCas still not say in processing?

Did your friend try with the sponsor's details or the primary applicant's details? For me, it was intially showing up only when I searched with the primary applicant's details i.e. my wife's details, however when I searched with the sponsor details it didn't show up until we got our SA

What would you make of this? I received it this morning.

"We acknowledge receipt of your FBI Clearance. The document is acceptable. Your sponsorship application has been assessed and approved, and will be finalized shortly.

Sincerely,

Case Processing Centre - Ottawa - "

Finalized. The entire thing? It's worded like they're talking about SA but that's done already.
That's basically as good as a pre-DM. You should be getting it really soon. I'm so jealous! I applied the same day as you.

No news yet for me. It's starting to get a little frustrating, since if I had already gotten SA Ottawa would be working on my application by now.

I sent a Case Specific Enquiry about 7 business days ago to add my RPRF to my application, still haven't heard anything and it's approaching 10 business days.

42 Days now and I still haven't been able to get through to the call center.

It looks like I'll be staying up late tonight. That's 5:30am here and my husband (the sponsor) gets off of work a few hours before that.

What did they tell you?

Yeah, I think the 37 day time is just wrong and they're really processing applications around 45 days. I'm just frustrated since the SA is holding up the rest of my application and I know I should be getting it soon (I'm not a patient person).

I'll stay up late tonight with my husband and have him call at 5:30am PST. I'll let you guys know if I find out anything.
