Well the "what is to be done, will be done" has nothing to do with giving up or not caring. I just noticed that some members get too much stressed and absorbed in this whole process and they are missing out on other things in their daily life, or even worse they put their life in pause mode till they get a reply.
No matter how many posts we have in this forum the bottom line is one. We already sent our application and it has taken its own course. If it's incomplete they send it back, if they give PER then we wait for AOR, if we get AOR then we wait for "in process", etc. There is not much we can do to change what we submitted (and I'm not talking about unique cases who face problems - we are here also trying to help those,eh?). If I check the e-cas 10 times/day (not glad that I admit, but I do check all the time myself), it won't speed up my process and it won't change the outcome....
And another bottom line, there are higher chances of getting a NER than a negative AOR from the VO (according to some statistics I saw somewhere here in the forum; hope it's true), so I believe that most of us in this thread will have a positive outcome!
Good luck to all of us boys and girls, I believe we will make it through all this somehow
Now let me go check my e-cas once more
