My application reached NS on 02/10/09 no reply, the date when DD is cashed is not a correct method, bcz if you check the thread by Oct'09 Applicants, you will find that some people where checking with there banks and banks were replying DD still outstanding, e.g. a gentlemen asked his bank on 28th Nov, bank said still his DD is outstanding but next day he received AOR from NS which says your payment was cleared on 17th/10. The DD, money order are confirmed as CIO knows that banks have issued these with securing money they just verify its original or fake, in case of CC they need to get authorisation therefore it delays the process. So in summary DD cash date is not a good indicator for AOR from CIO, but current time is 60-70 days as of today Sep27 and Sep 28 applicants are receiving their AOR. Just chill and keep fingers crossed. Good luck
