Thanks, First off could someone pls fill me in on all the acronyms for the PR ie SA, AOR1 etc I have no idea what those are lol second I'm just hoping for an estimated time for approval on sponsorship, I realize the whole PR could take quite sometime
AOR1: Acknowledgement of Receiving (First) This is when CPC opens your application to check the completion of your application
SA: Sponsor Approval (Probably that is what you asked for) It can be largely different case by case, some get it earlier, some get it pretty late
SOR2: Acknowledgement of Receiving (Second) It is to inform you where you applicantion will be transfered to. Usually it will be transfered to the VO at Principle Applicant's Country of Origin (Some VOs don't issue the AOR2, we have seen it happened most from London VO)
PIP(IP): Principle Applicant In Process That is when the Local VO starts to process Principle's application
BCG: Back Ground Check That is the local VO starts to check Principle's back ground, security & criminality (This is the longest wait of the whole process for most cases)
DM: Dicision Made This is when the time you will feel relieve, bad or good, it doesn't matter, because the wait is finally over.
PPR: Passport Request This is the time to celebrate with your loved ones and share your excitement with those on this forum.
Well, there are other terminologies, but they are pretty obvious to get what they mean, when you see them.
