I'm also July 9 applicant and I was told the same thing. No AOR, Can't check ECAS, Can't link on GCKey. I can see a few July 6 applicants were issued AOR this week and can only hope it gets to our turn next week. I believe there are many July 9 applicants out there who are also yet to get AOR. I hope others will let us know their experience so far. I'll let you know as soon as I'm able to check on ECAS or link to GCKey as I hope you'll do the same
I hope our turn it will be soon, I am also a July 9th applicant. I think their response is the same by phone or by email, as I submitted a form with technical issues on their site and this is the answer:
