Anyone with any insight into this? I received this email which seems to indicate from the Sydney office, but I haven't received any other AOR or sponsorship approval notification. When I log into the system using my receipt number it just says application received and medical received.
Does the following email indicate AOR from the visa office or is it a stage 1 AOR? It'd be great if others could compare to their stage 1 AOR emails and let me know if the VO address is usually listed in it.
Thanks all.
