Yes, that is true. AORs seem to be coming... Someone who submitted in the July thread on July 17th has been approved as sponsor! Just a tiny bit over a month!
The July people have only received AORs via email- no sponsorship approval yet.

They actually recommend laser printing the barcode pages, but I just inkjet printed using high quality.

All that matters is that their barcode reader can read the printed barcodes. If you have any doubt about the ability of your printed to print high enough resolution barcodes for that, it's worth getting the barcode pages printed elsewhere. I am assuming that modern inkjet printers printing in high quality are adequate.

I had no idea about this :eek: I just printed mine normal with an ink jet printer, but they seemed good enough, not blurry or anything like that. I hope they're okay.

It looks like one person from the July spreadsheet has been approved for sponsorship! And 4 people have AOR now as well, that is pretty good news I think =)

It seems like they pick what applications to work on randomly, all of the people with AOR sent their apps around the same time but not from the beginning of the month, its more mid-month, more specifically the 17th and 18th. Odd, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just choose randomly which app to start on next.
