  3. We sent you correspondence on October 19, 2017. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

2 is AOR2, no one can tell you how far there are in processing the application. Once it goes to the VO it usually becomes radio silent for a period time while they process.

so even though I did not receive a AOR2 based on my information (2. we started processing your application on October 30,2017) it is the AOR2 essentially?
do you know what would come next by any chance?

And in their glorious way of doing things we may never get notification that it has begun. I also didnt get a aor2 but i see movement on the app. I suspect i wont get notified when the background check starts as well

I just hope it happens already, but it is discouraging when they keep you in the dark on your own application lol
