Good news! My BD was cashed aat last. So, I went to the bank and here is what happened:
I had the teller that processed my BD and so I asked to know whether it was cashed or not and have a printed document of the transaction. After waiting 5 mins or so, he told me he needed to ask for manager. So i thought what is going on now... y'know! Anyway, i waited 5 more mins (which looked like hours to me), but remember it's the 4th time I go there with the same inquiry. Then Jim comes back and tells me : it is cashed.
Now i heard from fellows from various forums that whenever BD is cahsed the consulate writes your file#. Wasn't sure if it's true or how to get a hold on these precious digits... but my next goal was having this number, eh? So, I asked him for a copy of the transaction and he said there's no record of such thing. He said whenever it's outstanding the number from your BD will pop up in the system till it's cashed and then it will be removed so no one can access it.
so, i asked him when it was cashed at least so that i may come and tell you guys when it all happened.. he said he didn't know and no info on the date could be retrieve. I told him i needed a date at least for my own records, and at that point i was thinking in my head what are you telling me? you can't even tract a date like other banks, ppl told me i can get the date and I just want my file number. At last, i simply asked him if there was a way to get the date, if he could double check without telling him what i knew and/or what i really wanted..
Then he said he will try again, and after some mins returned with a page. I took the page and thanked him and walked to Second Cup. There I ordered my dear hot chocolate and sat somewhere to search for what i was looking for: Date : Nov 4, and yes my file number was there on the top.. but it took me a while to see it.
I was sooo delighted...after all that time wasted to wait... but after work i entered the B-file# but nothing came up just like Que100 and fallsage who can't access ecas. I think maybe there are not allowing external acess at this point. They may be typing everything into the system or something. But as soon as they start processing our files, it will pop up in ecas for those with Client ID to see we started processing your file on xx xx 2010. So let stay tune gang
