HI Everyone,
My Stats:
Submitted Application: May 4th
AOR #1: May 20th
SA Approval: June 30th
ECAS: [PA Only]: "Application Recieved"
Question: In the SA Email CIC states: "Application has been forwarded to the VO for processing." They did not state an exact Date as to when the application was forwarded. What is the procedure now? As on ECAS: No information has been updated. Stiil reads: PA: "Application Recieved".
Should we assume that the PA part of the application is now in process, as of the Date i recieved the SA Email: June 30th?
OR...should we WAIT until i recieve an AOR #2 from VO? Does this AOR #2 Email, constitute the most accurate Date as to WHEN the processing actual begins?
Thanks.

it is generally assumed the application is transferred the same day the sponsor is approved. no, you can't assume that the principal application is currently "in process". this does not happen right away, and most people wait months for the application to go "in process". the file was transferred to the visa office and put in queue for processing, that is all that means. you may or you may not get an AOR2 (not every visa office sends them, and the ones that do may not be consistent). Not getting an AOR doesn't mean anything's wrong with the file. it just means you didn't get an AOR2. An AOR2 also does not suggest the application is "in process", again it only suggests the application was received and is in queue waiting for processing.
