I didn't submit a letter of explanation but I attached a copy of the recommendation. I hope that is sufficient. Thank you for sharing your timeline. I am getting a bit worried as I was told that the typical timeline for AOR is 6 weeks and I am way past that as I applied on August 15th. Could that be a bad sign that its taking this long?Don't worry they won't reject it and did you submit a letter of explanation stating you got Community acceptance and had applied for PR on PR portal?
My timeline is:
Community acceptance: 22nd Feb 2024
Applied for Federal on PR portal: April 16
Applied for Wp extension without AOR: June 4
Aor Recieved: June 10
Again applied for WP extension with AOR: June 24
