August 13 applicant still no AOR :/ flight booked for December 28....
Expect it this week. I think you’ll make your flight no problem. (E.g. AoR Nov 4, DM Nov 20, card sent Nov 27).
August 24 applicant , flight booked for December 12
Also waiting for the AOR
Fingers crossed we get it in time
Unfortunately you’ll probably be waiting until mid-late November or even start of December. You should have sent an urgent application, that is what it is for. You should resend your application as urgent because your chances of getting it by Dec 12 are virtually zero. You need to do it now because the minimum time for even an urgent app is 3 weeks. The alternative is to apply for a PTRD.
