my docs reached there on 5th May 2010 and i am hoping AOR email anytime next week as well. Ya i noticed the change in checklist when i printed it of from CIC and that was the one that i sent alongwith my docs., it didnt make much difference in my case as my wife is studying and not working. But if ur partner is working or has worked, u better get her docs ready just in case if VO asks for them. Most likely they might not ask for them but who knows. As far as medicals are concerned, no one would have any idea about it as we have sent our docs to entirely new office, my guess is 2-3 months after docs but see how it goes.
