Welcome Double Rainbow, and congrats on your approval! I have added you to the spreadsheet. I put your medicals at April 2012 (mid-spring) but can change that if you like me to :)
Good-luck with stage 2!

Hi wongchild,
Yes, Rome VO can take up to 14 months: 80% of cases get processed by that time, many get processed before and some unfortunately get processed after.
I did a search for 'Rome' threads and saw someone who applied in June 2011 and received their Visa 9 months later, so I guess that was 7 months for stage 2 for them. I also saw that someone got their stage 2 processed after 2 months (must have been lucky!), so it really all depends. Hopefully yours will be on the shorter side of time. The most frustrating thing would be lack of communication with the VO , as I think Rome VO is not too efficient at responding to queries. Good-luck!
Thank you so much for your time and expertsise.. These are my stats if you want to put them in for me please... :)

App rec'd by CIC -July 9,2012
Med requested - Sept. 28,2012
Med done -Oct. 3,2012
Sponsorship approval - Oct 17,2012
App. forwarded to Rome

Is this AOR and what does this stand for?

Hey wongchild, I will add you to the spreadhseet.

The AOR stands for Acknowledgement of Receipt. Some people don't get this, but some people do via email before their sponsorship - just showing that CIC has inputted the applicant's info into the system as being received.

Some VO's (such as Sydney) also give an AOR once it is transferred, but most don't, unfortunately. Good luck with stage 2!

Congrats finally, prithiv. Hey I have the same problem, the address on my eCAS is missing a dash between the street number and building number. I'm afraid the mailman might just clump the two numbers together and send any letters from my VO to the wrong address. I will probably sent an email to my VO once we get our AOR2 asking about this.

Hello Everyone, my application was received on 10/27/2011 but status still shows as following in e-cas.

We received your application for permanent residence on October 27, 2011.

Medical results have been received.

Should I be concerned that it's going to be almost a year and still does not show status as "in process" even though cases from Jan - May of 2012 have been approved and processed. I am a Naturalized U.S. Citizen living in California and I was born in India and my wife is a Canadian citizen. CIC has stated on numerous emails that they don't need anything from us but that they have a large number of files that they are working thru. Any advice or suggestions, would be very much appreciated.
