Hi , I have a similar experience .
Yesterday I received a request letter asking me to send 2 photos , scan of bio-data page of passport (given I am from visa exempt country ) to local visa office . It appears my file was processed from beginning to end at local VO
I am FSW outlander . NOC 0122 - Banking
Here is my timeline
ITA - July 10th
Medicals completed - July 17th
App submitted/AOR- August 3rd
Medicals passed - August 4th
ECA accesss - not sure what date
BG, Review of Eligibilty : In Progress - August 4th (same day as medicals passed)
Second AOR - August 19th
Request Letter (PPR) - Sept 7th.
ECA and mycic doesn't show decision made (nothing has changed ), but I emailed the Local VO to clarify if I needed to send a pre-paid courier envelope given that I don't require to submit passport (this was an instruction in the Request letter ). They responded today " Yes. We still need to forward your original Confirmation of Permanent Resident document (visa)."
I am still amazed at the speed of everything ... I guess this means i got PR ( I hope) ....still dazed ( 5 weeks processing !?) , nevertheless Praise God !
Wanted to create a new thread to share my story and give encouragement and hope to outlanders , but I am not able to create a new topic. (new to site)
All the best to my Caribbean folks (yampower, optimistic lady etc ) and other outlanders !
