Nah, remember that these are immigration officers so they are federal employees. They get real nice vacations etc. Since you are at the later end of October, they all probably stopped working for the holidays right before they sent out your AOR. So bad timing is all. Of course this is completely speculative. There are people out there who have had to wait much longer than others for their AORs, has a lot to do with your application, the officer who is looking at your application, and of course, luck. Hopefully this has been helpful...
. And just because people get their AOR's before other people does not mean their application time will be quicker as I have checked other month applicants to see some get AOR's and Medical requests much quicker than others but in the end they all get their final approvals around the same time yet I have seen some who have gotten approvals in 4 months. Hopefully people are updating their status on the October spread sheet (as it is easy to do) just so everyone here can get a rough idea of how the October application process is going for everyone.
