Happy days. The horse arrived yesterday afternoon bearing the glad tidings that, as of 15 Feb, we have stage 1 approval. A celebratory glass or two of Chile's finest was consumed as a result.
Congrats sniprat!

Congrats! You're updated!

Was the horse in form of lasagna? (Joke about the horsemeat scandal.)

You probably have at least six months of waiting with no real communication unless something is missing (or the VO misplaces it).

Congrats kbean!

Wow they missppelled your email address eh...that's weird! One would think they would get it correct, considering they now have the barcode system, which is supposed to prevent these things from happening!

By the way, how did you find out that they got your email address wrong? Did you call the call centre to find out why you hadn't got an AOR, and they told you they had sent an email, which you never got? Or...??

I called the call center asking about my status, they said it was sent to my email address, I verified my email address with them and found out they misspelled it. They gave my ID# over the phone.

Now onto stage 2...

I suspect they enter many email addresses in wrong. After staring at paperwork all day, their eyes probably go cross. I know mine do!

So the barcode system is not working optimally/properly then...because the form in which the sponsor's email address is specified (IMM 1344) has barcodes, which are supposed to prevent the agents from entering the email addresses manually ;D

They could also have an autocorrect that "helps."

There's also a chance we enter our information wrong.... >.>

I put you in as Stage 1 approval Feb 19th. We don't have a spot for file transfer, just Stage 2 AOR. If Cairo emails you to tell you they got the file, then we can add that date. (Stage 2 AOR isn't common from what I understand.)
