Does anyone know when the Visa Office received the application from the CPCM, do they inform us? or do they update on e-CAS?

That is the sponsor approval letter which goes to sponsor. The AOR usually comes +120 days later from the VO of the principal applicant. Some dont get them at all like essex probably didnt get her AOR but straight to PPR. Cic works in their own mysterious ways.. :p i dont mind not getting anything but the PPR...

received an email today from my VO saying that interview has been waived and application approved. They need us to pay the remaining fee of 490$ and they need also the CSQ letter of approval.
that sounds good to us :)

hope everything is going smooth for everyone!

Yes our applications have been submitted almost at the same time, but I'm pretty sure you will hear from them soon ;) just keep up positive energy and thinking!

I have to confess that it's been a while since I last visited the forum,I didn't want to get disappointed on reading approvals of our fellow Augustians while I didn't get any sign of life. But feels good to share our experiences here and timelines. :)
