Phillipians 4:6 is an equally inspiring verse that has got me through many trials and given me hope. Probably it will help some of us on here too.

On another note. ...my ecas says In Process. Hope this is a good sign. In the unlikely event that it isn't, let this be a sign of hope for all of us that POS is at work!
Congrats FAD; I see this as awesome news ;D

FAD! I am jumping with excitement for you. This indeed means something. The hairs on my arms raised as I thought to myself your journey is soon coming to an end! Congrats! Keep us posted. Tell hubby to keep phone close by. So happy for you! By the way, when did it change to in process?

Hi CdnandTrini. I've just been lurking other forums too! Very inspirational, thank you.

Enjoy the day everyone and let the good news keep on rolling!

In theory, the applicant should receive a letter from POS stating application was received, but they aren't the greatest at sending letters! If you haven't recieved an AOR from POS at 3 months after stage 1 approval, you should send a Case Specific E-mail (CSE) asking them to confirm receipt and indicate client ID number for the applicant so the applicant can log in to E-CAS. The sponsor's E-CAS provides little to no details once stage 1 is approved. Hope that was helpful!

Hi KIAB and further to Behopeful's response (hi Behopeful :D) for me it happened a bit differently. Yes we are "supposed" to receive AOR's from POS within 90 days of the file being transferred. Some people get them others do not, it's always inconsistent.

However when I received my sponsor approval letter it already contained a file number for my hubby so I could log into e-cas for both of us and see sponsor side (me with the UCI number) and applicant side (him with application number that starts with an F).

So I waited about 3.5 months, did not receive anything from POS to confirm they received our app. so I then sent them (by e-mail) a case specific enquiry (CSE) with both of our details. POS responded by e-mail within 48 hours to confirm they did receive our app. but they did not specify a date of receipt. I was just happy to know that it arrived intact.

Now, others on this thread and the forum, when they have received an AOR directly from a visa office abroad, also sometimes get another file number starting with a B. There are a few of our POS folks I believe that this happened with so hopefully some of them will chime in on this as that is the extent of my knowledge on this one!

Blessings :)

I can tell you from receiving my notes, that the B# is the actual # they give to your entire paper file and the F#is your application #. My B# has been running all over the Kingston office from officer to officer for the last year LMAO (from my notes i can see this!)

Congrats!!!! In process is always a good sign from POS! As others said, keep an eye out for some form of communication from them, you're one step closer to putting this all behind you ;D

Hi everyone,

I'm truly sorry for those who have recently received bad news on their applications and truly overjoyed for those who have received good news! It is such a tumultuous process... We're just still waiting as we're still in the middle of the process. I'm going down to St. Vincent next month and then hopefully after that we're on the home stretch. Hopes and prayers for that and for everyone else on the journey.

Still just lurking... I don't feel enough of an expert to provide answers to everyones questions but i do check almost daily. While it has been minimal, there has definitely been a ramp up of activity, so I'm really hoping and praying our names get called swiftly and smoothly from now to the end of the year and beyond.

Take care all!

Hi Can-Vinc and thanks for stopping by. No one needs to be an expert on anything to just encourage as you did today :). Your first +1....lol How long will you be able to stay in St. Vincent? That is something to look forward to. Blessings
