You are correct Manila sends no AOR, one of the few VO's that don't.
No -one knows why, just the way Manila does it.
Be prepared for months with no word unfortunately.
Good Luck

Just wanted to say congrats congrats congrats to all those who are already getting passport requests! What a nice surprise :) Hopefully the rest of us March applicants will see the same speedy processing!

I too would be curious to know about the relationship history and any possible red flags. I'm always curious to see if CIC actually processes applications with no red flags faster, or if they are just random.

Congrats again, guys!
