Dear Ainy,
I know you are frustrated about his whole process thing and so are we. Everyone here is going throught the same thing your are going through, so be nice to everyone and be friendly. I am not saying just to you but ITS FOR EVERYONE here.....Be nice to eachother, we all know we are away from our spouses, and through this forum we are the only ones who can understand what we are all going through so plz plz be nice to everyone.
Now to your question, We have seen that AORs from Oct, Nov, Dec 2009 are receiving either PPRs or receiving replies that they are on their last stage. I personally have only seen one case from Jan 2010 AOR that has received the PPR so far, so we know that they are finally getting towards the end of 2009 and bigining to process 2010 cases. You are July 2010 dear, you know it will be atleast 5 - 6 months before they start on your case if not more unless some miracle happens and they start processing cases in 5 months or something. So there is no need to panic. Same question over and over is annoying people and thats why they are getting mad at you. For your sake if you start taking this on your head too much it will only hurt you more and more you will be stressed out and frustrated all the time. CIC have said 16 months from AOR, you are July AOR that means Keep December 2011 in your mind and relax. If it happens before then its a bonus if not we know its normal. SO far we know that right now they are taking anywhere from 14 to 20 months to process and its a fact according to what we have seen on this forum
I hope you don't mind what I have said but this is reality lets all face it together. Good Luck!
