Hi Furch,furch said:Thank you, fabul!
Actually, today we got some really good news! My wife got an email from the embassy in Beijing, and it was her AOR2. 20 minutes later she received another email from the embassy. It was her passport request. I guess they just looked at our 700 page application and just said, "Screw it. Just give her PR..."
So we will send her passport to China tomorrow! Hopefully it comes back soon.
DuberBlue, for the spreadsheet:
AOR from Visa Office: 10-Feb-2014
Passport Requested: 10-Feb-2014
ECAS Updated to "In Process": 10-Feb-2014
Not sure why ECAS just changed to "In progress" today but that's what is says.
Thank you all for your support, and for those of you still waiting, it will come soon!!!
I am very glad for you !! Congratulations. You can check who is in charge of you application in the pdf AR2 file that your wife received (in "properties" there is a section "Author" where the name of the person in charge will appear). For us, it was Lub. Note also that they usually ask for the passport very quickly, but I have seen some cases, where they kept the passport for several months. I hope it won't be the case for you.
Again good luck !!
