Hello Folks,
I thought i should share this with you guys and hopefully get some answers from some of you. so after four months in the wait, i got a letter from CIC NAIROBI today about my application. it was received on 30th March 2009 and i did send it on the 12th March 2009. it took them four months in the queue to even finally get me my file number and my Fee receipt. this is just ridicoulous. like why do they have to wait this long. anyways, it says now in eCAs that processed started in August 4 and they say in the AOR letter that no processing will occur in my file for approximately six months. thats just an estimate. what does this six month period without processing means?/ and really whats happens with the first 4 months since they received my applications?? do they count or they just go on waste?? when do i expect my medicals toe be done and how come some in the forum usually talks about the AOR with medicals at the same time. when do i expect my case to be finished so i can start working at the Airport?? Guys help me in answering this coz i am confused and yet i am also happy that i am not in the dark anymore.
For those that are still waiting for their AOR hang in tight guys. i know it hurts but just dont lose hope.
Cheers. all.
Rhino

Dear Rhino:

Can you just send a query to CIC Kenya and ask reason for this six month slow down?

Siz Girl Ontario,

The sad part is these guys dont even answer anything at all till they make their mind. thats just how they are. before they send my file number last week, i wrote emails and faxes to them, they were just mute. then i just gave up till they send me their file number. dont bug them. just hold on till they reply to you coz if you do, it will make things even worse. I wish my stuff were through Buffalo but we cant always get our wish. my stuff could have been done my Dec 2009. i also guess this six months wait is because they have lots of files in the queue.

777 are the dream of every CPL aspirants. so you just are into solo. will be fun when you will be doing solo with the crapy controls in cessna.
